Can you get hepatic encephalopathy with auto-immune hepatitis. I also have primary biliary cirrhosis?

Yes. Encephalopathy occurs when the toxins can't be broken down and expelled out of the body. They build up in the body, more specifically the brain. Lactulose is given to bind with the toxin and to promote you to expel it from your body (in the form of diarrhea). You can get encephalopathy from any kind of liver disease.
