摘要：
A 49-year-old alcoholic developed hepatic encephalopathy following dietary supplementation with branched-chain amino acid (BCAA). He became lucid within 24 hours of withdrawing BCAA. Subsequent re-challenge with BCAA again precipitated hepatic encephalopathy. In future, BCAA should be prescribed with care.
