"Hepatic Encephalopathy" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,

A syndrome characterized by central nervous system dysfunction in association with LIVER FAILURE, including portal-systemic shunts.
