A battery of memory tests was administered to a group of patients with nonalcoholic cirrhosis and to a group of normals. Deficits observed in the former group indicate that there are detectable neuropsychological impairments on measures of higher cognitive functioning in persons who do not otherwise exhibit overt signs or symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. These findings extend the range of impairments that have been documented to be present as part of the neuropsychiatric syndrome of portal-systemic encephalopathy.
对一组非酒精性肝硬化患者和一组正常人进行了一系列记忆测试。在前一组中观察到的缺陷表明，在没有其他明显肝性脑病体征或症状的人群中，在更高认知功能测量方面存在可检测到的神经心理学损伤。这些发现扩展了已被记录为门体性脑病神经精神综合征一部分的损伤范围。
