Summary
This study tests whether adding a bile acid pill (UDCA) to standard treatment (lactulose) can prevent serious brain confusion (hepatic encephalopathy) after a liver shunt procedure (TIPS). About 270 adults with cirrhosis will receive either UDCA plus lactulose or lactulose alone for 3 months. The goal is to see if the combination reduces the risk of this brain complication.
