Hepatic encephalopathy is a complication of what disease

Hepatic encephalopathy is a complication of severe hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver cancer and other diseases.

1.

Severe hepatitis in patients with severe hepatitis leads to extensive inflammation and stimulation of liver tissue damage, which will cause metabolic dysfunction of blood ammonia metabolism, which will involve the central nervous system and hepatic encephalopathy.

2. Liver cirrhosis in patients with liver cirrhosis does

not intervene in time, resulting in extensive damage, necrosis and fibrosis of liver cells due to abnormal portal-systemic shunt.

3.

Liver cancer in patients with liver cancer leads to tumor infiltration and necrosis of liver cells, which will also cause liver metabolic dysfunction, thus inducing hepatic encephalopathy.
