Patient's question:
My friend said he has hepatic encephalopathy. What should be noted about hepatic encephalopathy? It is said that this disease seems to require enemas. What should be paid attention to during the enema? What kind of enemas cannot be used for hepatic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
If it is hepatic encephalopathy, this situation should preferably use saline enema, and try to avoid using soap water enema, because it may cure the absorption of intestinal ammonia, leading to the recovery of hepatic encephalopathy. Therefore, if it is confirmed to be hepatic encephalopathy, it is necessary to maintain intestinal smoothness at all times, and it is better to take some drugs that promote metabolism as much as possible, which can help stabilize the disease.
