Liver and Hepatic Encephalopathy

Hepatic encephalopathy is a brain disordered marked by a decline in the functions of the brain such as-

• Forgetfulness 

• Difficulty in concentrating 

• Inability to make the proper judgement 

• Incoordination of hands and eyes 

• Changes in personality 

• Lethargy 

• Trembling hands 

• Slowing down of movement

• Slurred speech 

So what causes hepatic encephalopathy?
Accumulation of toxins is behind it. Your liver is tasked with cleaning up your blood by removing the toxins that are produced by your cells and dumped into your blood. But if your liver is ailing, then it will not be able to cleanse your blood and toxins such as ammonia will build up. These toxins will be carried to your brain by your blood and affect its functions. This is how hepatic encephalitis sets in. 

Studies on rats have also found that the liver not functioning at its peak might even lead to Alzheimer's Disease. The researchers concluded that if liver illnesses are not treated at the right time, brain degeneration is highly likely.
