Patient's question:
Doctor, I have been feeling dizzy since last month, and whenever I eat, I feel like vomiting. I am also very tired and always want to take a nap. I feel dizzy and sluggish. After a thorough examination at the hospital, the doctor said I have hepatic encephalopathy. How serious is this condition?Doctor's answer:
General hepatic encephalopathy is usually caused by liver cirrhosis or liver tumors. If hepatic encephalopathy occurs multiple times, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly. This is a serious condition, and delaying treatment can easily lead to coma. It is best for you to undergo a thorough physical examination at the hospital, including liver function tests and ammonia levels in the body. Do not delay this situation—prompt hospitalization and treatment are necessary for a better and more complete recovery.
