Low phase angle is associated with the development of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis.

The precipitating factors were then evaluated to search for differences between the group with low PhA and normal PhA; in the group with low PhA infections were higher (26.3% vs 16.3%), and specifically from the group of patients with SBP as precipitating factor 70% had low PhA, although this did not reach statistical significance ( P = 0.332 and P = 0.166).
