Objective To study subclinical hepatic encephalopathy (SHE) in patients with hepatic cellular carcinoma by using psychometric tests.Methods 112 cases of hepatic cellular carcinoma complicated with cirrhosis and 65 controls were detected with number connection test (NCT), digital span test (DSP) and digital symbol test (DSY).Results The abnormal rate of NCT, DSY and DSP in patients was 23.2% (26/112), 14.3% (16/112) and 11.6%(13/112) respectively. Patients in the Child-Pugh B group had a significantly higher abnormal rate than that in the Child-Pugh A group.Conclusion SHE has an incidence of 25.0% (28/112) in patients with hepatic cellular carcinoma and cirrhosis in this study population; its occurrence is associated with the severity of liver impairment.
