Summary
The investigators wish to investigate how the Continuous Reaction Time (CRT) method can be
used in the diagnosis and monitoring of covert hepatic encephalopathy (cHE)in patients with
cirrhosis of the liver. The hypothesis is that the CRT method (duration 10-2 minutes) can
serve as a tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of cHE and is an alternative to using the
Portosystemic Encephalopathy Test (PSE)(duration 20-25 minutes).
