Abstract
Two psychological tests, WAIS and Trail Making Test, were administered to fourteen patients with chronic liver disease, mainly consisting of cirrhosis.
In WAIS, control group revealed better results, especially in Performance tests, than the patients with chronic liver disease. Groups of patients with abnormal EEG, history of impairment of consciousness and decompensated liver function showed worse results than the groups of those without them.
No significant difference was observed in the results of Trail Making Test between control group and the patients with chronic liver disease. However, the lower scores in Trail Making Test were obtained in the groups with abnormal EEG, history of impairment of consciousness and decompensated liver function than the groups without them.
Between the groups with and without abnormal EEG, the significant differences were observed in Part I, Part II and Part I+II.
