Hepatic Encephalopathy Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034

The 7 major hepatic encephalopathy markets reached a value of US$ 1.7 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the 7MM to reach US$ 2.9 Billion by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.1% during 2024-2034.

The hepatic encephalopathy market has been comprehensively analyzed in IMARC's new report titled "Hepatic Encephalopathy Market: Epidemiology, Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity, and Forecast 2024-2034". Hepatic encephalopathy is a neurological condition that occurs as a result of liver dysfunction or failure. The liver plays a substantial role in removing waste products from the blood, and when it becomes impaired, these toxins can accumulate in the bloodstream and affect the brain. The most common indications associated with this disorder include irritability, mood swings, agitation, confusion, depression, memory loss, disorientation, sleep disturbances, slurred speech, poor coordination between movements, tremors, muscle stiffness, a sweet, musty odor on the breath, etc. Individuals suffering from the ailment may also experience yellowing of the eyes and skin due to the liver's impaired ability to process bilirubin. Hepatic encephalopathy is usually diagnosed based on clinical symptoms, neurological examination findings, and laboratory tests that show elevated ammonia levels in the blood. The healthcare professional may also perform several diagnostic procedures, like ultrasounds, computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging, etc., to assess the structure and function of the liver as well as detect any irregularities that may be contributing to the underlying indications.

The increasing cases of liver tissue scarring due to chronic hepatitis B or C infection, excessive alcohol consumption, genetic and metabolic disorders, etc., are primarily driving the hepatic encephalopathy market. In addition to this, the rising incidences of portal hypertension, which causes blood to bypass the liver, leading to the accumulation of toxic substances in the bloodstream that can affect brain function, are creating a positive outlook for the market. Moreover, the widespread adoption of effective antibiotics, such as neomycin and rifaximin, to treat recurrent disease conditions is further acting as another significant growth-inducing factor. These therapeutic agents work by selectively suppressing the spread of harmful bacteria in the gut while preserving beneficial gut flora to alleviate the symptoms of the illness. Apart from this, the escalating application of ornithine phenylacetate therapy, since it stimulates the synthesis of glutamine in muscle tissue to aid in the removal of ammonia via alternative pathways, thereby stabilizing cognitive function and improving mental status in patients, is expected to drive the hepatic encephalopathy market during the forecast period.
