Why should hepatic encephalopathy be enema

The main purpose of observation of patients with hepatic encephalopathy is to keep the stool unobstructed, so that the intestinal toxins, in fact, mainly ammonia and other toxins, are quickly excreted with the stool. As for staying in the intestinal tract for too long, reducing the absorption of toxins ammonia in the intestinal tract. The liver detoxification ability of patients with hepatic encephalopathy decreases, or there is no detoxification function at all. Toxins in the body, especially ammonia, enter the brain through blood circulation without detoxification by the liver, causing a series of symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy. If the patient with hepatic encephalopathy is enema once or twice a day, ammonia in the intestinal tract can be quickly excreted, which can alleviate the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy.
