How is hepatic encephalopathy treated?

Patient's question:

My father had liver disease when he was young. The doctor said it was cirrhosis. Yesterday, relatives held a banquet, and my father was particularly happy, then he drank a bit too much. This morning, when I called him to go to bed, he didn't wake up. So I took him to the hospital. The doctor said this is hepatic coma. How should hepatic coma be treated?

Doctor's answer:

According to the current situation you described, if you have liver cirrhosis and drink beer, it may lead to the recurrence of hepatic encephalopathy in liver cirrhosis, and may cause the recurrence of liver failure. In this case, it is recommended to seek timely medical treatment. Do not drink beer in daily life, as drinking beer has a very significant impact on the liver. If this situation occurs, it is recommended to first stabilize the confusion symptoms.
