<p>Hepatic encephalopathy is an important end stage complication of liver disease.
Monitoring at a national level is difficult because there is no specific code in the
10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases system (ICD10). The ICD10
guide recommends that patients with hepatic encephalopathy are classified as K72.9;
hepatic failure, un-specified. Public Health England is working on raising the profile
of hepatic encephalopathy with the Lancet Commission.</p><p> </p>
