INDICES: sorbitol for hepatic encephalopathy
---------------------------------------------

Hi,

Does anyone have any information which supports the 
efficacy of sorbitol for hepatic encephalopathy?  The only literature 
I have found indicates lactulose as being a superior agent, and is 
generally published up to 30 years ago.  Do other institutions 
substitute sorbitol for lactulose, and is it effective?

Regards,

Melanie
