Who should not take HepLOLA
People with advanced kidney disease should not take HepLOLA.
The degree of kidney disease is measured by the lab value of serum creatinine. People with a serum creatinine ≥ 3mg/dl should not take HepLOLA.
A serum creatinine level of 3 mg/dl is generally equal to an eGFR of 17-25, which is graded as mid to late stage CKD 4.
About Hepatic Encephalopathy
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) is an altered level of consciousness as a result of liver disease. Its onset may be gradual oe sudden. Other symptoms may include movement problems, changes in mood, or changes in personality. In advanced stages it can result in coma.
Hepatic Encephalopathy can occur in those with acute or chronic liver disease. Episodes can be triggered by infections, GI bleeding, constipation, electrolyte problems, or certain medications. The underlying mechanism is typically attributed to the buildup of ammonia in the blood, which is normally removed by the liver. The diagnosis is typically based on symptoms, by measuring blood ammonia levels, and electroencephalogram, or a CT scan of the brain.
Hepatic Encephalopathy is often reversible with treatment.
