Patient's question:
My friend's grandfather has always been in good health, but recently he has been complaining of frequent headaches and discomfort. He took him to the hospital for a thorough examination and underwent several tests before the final conclusion was reached: hepatic encephalopathy. I would like to ask what causes it? What is the treatment for hepatic encephalopathy?Doctor's answer:
According to your current condition, if hepatic encephalopathy has been introduced, it is mostly caused by severe liver cirrhosis leading to abnormal liver metabolism. If this situation occurs again, it is recommended to consider taking oral medication in a timely manner to prevent the relief of hepatic encephalopathy, while also considering timely liver-protecting treatment. Acetate enema can be considered to maintain a slightly acidic environment in the intestines.
