Psychometric tests, visual reaction time tests and electroencephalograms were performed in 26 cirrhotic patients without overt portal-systemic encephalopathy and in 26 healthy individuals. Cirrhotics performed poorly, compared with controls, on intelligence, learning and memory, perceptual motor and spatial tests. Non-alcoholic scored lower than alcoholic cirrhotics compared with controls in most tests. Visual reaction time ability was lower in cirrhotics than controls, but the etiology of the cirrhosis did not influence the test results. EEG was normal in all subjects. We conclude that psychomotor tests are the most useful tool for the detection of latent encephalopathy and in the discrimination of different cirrhosis.
对26例无明显门体性脑病的肝硬化患者和26名健康个体进行了心理测量测试、视觉反应时间测试和脑电图检查。与对照组相比，肝硬化患者在智力、学习和记忆、感知运动和空间测试中表现较差。在大多数测试中，与对照组相比，非酒精性肝硬化患者的得分低于酒精性肝硬化患者。肝硬化患者的视觉反应时间能力低于对照组，但肝硬化的病因不影响测试结果。所有受试者的脑电图均正常。我们得出结论，心理运动测试是检测潜在脑病和区分不同类型肝硬化最有用的工具。
