[Dynamics of the mental disturbances in primary biliary liver cirrhosis with allowance for a hemosorption procedure].

The authors followed the time course of the psychic disturbances in 37 patients with primary biliary liver cirrhosis who received hemosorption as part of the combined therapy. The peculiarities of the psychic disturbances and their time course before and after the hemosorption were specified. It was found that after the hemosorption a regression of asthenoneurotic disturbances took place. However, the characteristic changes and elements of the psychoorganic syndrome developed in the course of the disease showed no positive dynamics.
