Brief Summary:
This interventional study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oral capsule fecal microbiota transplantation FMT for treating hepatic encephalopathy refractory to conventional rifaximin and lactulose therapy in patients with liver cirrhosis Patients diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy refractory to rifaximin and lactulose therapy will be randomized into three groups While continuing conventional therapy the first group receives FMT via colonoscopy and oral capsule administration the second group receives only oral capsule administration and the third group serves as a control receiving only conventional therapy
The aims of the study are
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of FMT by oral capsules in cirrhotic patients with hepatic encephalopathy refractory to standard therapy
To evaluate changes in the gut microbiota composition and in the intestinal and systemic inflammatory condition occurring after FMT and if they can be associated with clinical improvement
To evaluate metabolic modifications occurring after FMT and if they can be associated with clinical improvement
