Actuality and purpose. Taking into consideration the paucity of scientific publications concerning factors that deepen the course of the chronic hepatic encephalopathy, the purpose of the present research was the study of characteristics of parameters of the cerebral circulatory dynamics in extra- and intracranial departments with dyscirculatory damages in course of hepatic cirrhoses that have the viral causation of the classes А, В, С in accordance with the Child and Pugh score for improvement of the optimization at the early detection of complications of the encephalopathy at different stages of its development. Material and methods of researches. In the course of examination of 107 patients suffering with hepatic cirrhoses that have the viral causation of the classes А, В, С accordance with the Child and Pugh score the circulatory dynamics in common carotid arteries and medial cerebral arteries of the 1st order of the both hemispheres was examined. Results. The chronical hepatic encephalopathy in up to 75 % of cases can proceed in the comorbidity with dyscirculatory cerebral damages that have been caused primarily at the expense of the process of the atherosclerosis, tortuosity of arteries and the imbalance of the vascular tone. In common carotid arteries against the background of the thickening of the intima-media complex from 0,69±0,21 mm up to 0,79±0,35 mm the tendency to the development of the hemisphere asymmetry of the linear speed of the blood flow from 25.1±2,42% up to 39,5±7,94% is noted against the background of the hepatic cirrhosis of the classes A and С correspondingly. The highest statistical significance of differences is noted between values of the intima-media complex, of the hemisphere asymmetry with the medium linear speed of the blood flow against the background of the hepatic cirrhosis of the С class and the norm. In medial cerebral arteries the most serious damages of parameters of the circulatory dynamics are observed in case of the hepatic cirrhosis of the class С due to change of speed values of the blood flow, increase of the hemisphere asymmetry of the middle linear speed of the blood flow up to 33,9±10,5%, lowering of resistance and pulsatility indexes amounts up to 0,49±0,22 and 1,02±0,21 correspondingly. The highest statistical significance of differences is noted between speed values of the blood flow, values of resistance and pulsatility indexes, values of hemisphere asymmetry of the medium linear speed of the blood flow in case of the hepatic cirrhosis of the С class and the norm. At the comorbidity of hepatic and dyscirculatory encephalopathy the increase of the time of binding of figures belonging to the Reitan test is noted. At that the influence of stages of the dyscirculatory encephalopathy on the process of stages of the hepatic encephalopathy is not single-valued, and it depends on their stages of compensation. Conclusions: 1. In case of hepatic cirrhoses the chronical hepatic encephalopathy in 75% of cases proceeds against the background of dyscirculatory damages, from minimal up to nonreversible, that have been confirmed in 45% of cases only with methods of the instrumental diagnostics, and they increase the clinical process of the dyscirculatory encephalopathy. 2. The influence of stages of the dyscirculatory encephalopathy on the process of stages of the hepatic encephalopathy is not single-valued. The minimal influence is noted at the 1st stage of the hepatic encephalopathy, the maximal influence is noted at the hepatic encephalopathy of the 3rd stage in the comorbidity with stages of the dyscircula-tory encephalopathy. 3. The presence of the hemisphere asymmetry of the blood flow speed (more than 40%), lowering of speed parameters of the blood flow lower than reference values and resistance index (lower than 0,35) in districts of cerebral arteries are indicative of the poor prognosis of the progress of the encephalopathy due to the possibility of the appearance of the “sausage-string” phenomenon with the danger of the development of acute damages of the cerebral blood flow of the haemorrhagic type, process of the venous stasis and cerebral edema.
