The EASL Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPGs) on the management of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) present evidence-based answers to a set of relevant questions (where possible, formulated in PICO [patient/population, intervention, comparison and outcomes] format) on the definition, diagnosis, differential diagnosis and treatment of HE. The document does not cover the pathophysiology of HE and does not cover all available treatment options. The methods through which it was developed and any information relevant to its interpretation are also provided EASL has addressed the topic of haemochromatosis in previous Clinical Practice Guidelines of 2010, also published in the Journal of Hepatology. This 2022 publication is a profound revision of the previous CPGs.
