Probiotics are live microbial cultures that can improve a human health and reduce a risk of human desease. Probiotics are used in many gastrointestinal disorders, mostly inflammatory bowel deseases, but an interest in using them in liver demage increases. Probiotics can improve minimal hepatic encefalopathy and prevent infectious complications in these risk and critically ill patients. In our study we showed that E. coli Nissle can in patients with liver cirrhossis normalize intestinal microflora, decrease a level of endotoxemia and prove liver function.

Keywords: Key words: probiotics, liver cirrhosis, minimal hepatic encefalopathy, spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
