In 2018, about 4.5 million people in the US had
Chronic Liver Disease¹

Chronic Liver Disease
can lead to Cirrhosis²

Up to 80% of patients with Cirrhosis
will eventually develop some form of
Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE)^*3

*Ranging from minimal to overt.

In 2018, 37% of hospitalized patients with
overt hepatic encephalopathy (OHE) were readmitted within 30 days^*4

*HE cases are identified by ICD-10 codes K70.41 (alcoholic hepatic failure with coma), K71.11 (toxic liver disease with hepatic necrosis, with coma), K72.01 (acute and subacute hepatic failure with coma), K72.11 (chronic hepatic failure with coma), K72.90 (hepatic failure, unspecified without coma), and K72.91 (hepatic failure, unspecified with coma). Unless otherwise specified, hospital case data include primary and secondary diagnoses. Hospital case data for 2018 were collected from October 1, 2017, to September 30, 2018.

Patients who have been hospitalized with OHE have
a 42% probability of survival at 1 year^*5
