| Core Tip |
This study demonstrates that critical flicker frequency (CFF), a non-invasive marker of neurocognitive function, significantly improves following alcohol detoxification in patients with alcohol-related liver disease (ALD). CFF was reduced in ALD patients and correlated with liver stiffness, particularly post-detoxification, highlighting its utility in detecting minimal hepatic encephalopathy. These findings underscore CFF’s value in assessing alcohol-related neurotoxicity and monitoring therapeutic response, supporting its integration into routine evaluation of patients with ALD and cirrhosis. |
