In overt stages (where it is noticeable), it can show up as sleep disturbance, mild confusion, subtle personality changes and slightly poorer performances in tests such as drawing a star and connecting dots. Many people with cirrhosis experience episodes of hepatic encephalopathy, most at a level where it is not very noticeable.
People are heavily sedated for this procedure. This device has two balloons which once inflated, put pressure on the varices and help control the bleeding. If bleeding can not be stopped by endoscopy, a Sengstaken tube is passed down the throat into the stomach. Injection sclerotherapy is also used and involves injecting a substance into the veins of the gullet to induce clotting and scar tissue that will help stop the veins from bleeding. A small band is then placed around the base of the varix which will control the bleeding. One of these is called banding, where a single vein (called an oesophageal varix) is sucked into a ring at the end of the endoscope. There are several techniques aimed at stemming the bleeding which involve endoscopy. If there is a serious bleed, initial treatment is to replace the fluid and then to identify and correct the cause of bleeding. Medicines including beta blockers such as propranolol can reduce the risk of bleeding and reduce the severity of any bleed, should it occur. increased sensitivity to drugs, both medical and recreational.staggering gait when walking tendency to fall.writing becomes difficult, spidery and small.forgetfulness, memory loss, confusion and drowsiness.fevers with high temperature and shivers.dizziness and extreme fatigue (anaemia).in women: irregular or lack of menstrual periods.in men: enlarged breasts and shrunken testes.easy bruising and diffi culty in stopping small bleeds.pale-coloured stools or very dark/black tarry stools.swelling of the legs, ankles, feet (oedema).ends of fingers become wider/thicker (clubbed fingers).
