Hepatic encephalopathy isn't a disease per se, but a complication of liver disease. When the liver can't clear amonia from the body effectively, it backs up into the brain. There are meds (lactulose, enulose) that can help clear the amonia level. Although these drugs may not be prescribed at the sub-clinical stage.

Sub-clinical encephalopathy isn't really a problem. Sub-clinical means it's not symptomatic. Many people with liver disease live with sub-clinical encephalopathy.

When the liver disease is under control, the encephalopathy will resolve. When the liver disease worsens, the encephalopathy can return, and can progress from subclinical to coma (with several stages in between).

The encephalopahy itself doesn't cause mortality, the underlying disease does. And this can be any one of many different diseases, each with it's own progression and prognosis.
