Patient's question:
Doctor, hello! I'd like to ask a few questions. What is hepatic encephalopathy? Just hearing the name makes me guess it's about a brain disease, but how could it be related to the liver? Besides, I'm clearly suffering from long-term liver problems, so why did the problem end up in my brain?Doctor's answer:
Hepatic encephalopathy is a condition caused by liver disease, leading to the recurrence of neurological symptoms, such as confusion and dizziness. This situation is primarily due to liver disease. Therefore, it is currently necessary to pay attention to actively adjusting and stabilizing liver function, using medications regularly for treatment, avoiding a state of crisis, and preventing the recurrence of hepatic encephalopathy.
