==Overview==
Hepatic encephalopathy is caused by disorders that affect the liver. These include disorders that reduce liver function (such as [[cirrhosis]] or [[hepatitis]]) and conditions in which [[blood]] circulation does not enter the liver. The exact cause of hepatic encephalopathy is unknown.
The most common cause of hepatic encephalopathy is [[hepatic cirrhosis]], drugs/toxins and [[Fulminant hepatitis|acute fulminant hepatitis]]. Less common causes of hepatic encephalopathy include [[Wilson's disease]], [[Alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency|alpha-1-antitripsin deficiency]], [[autoimmune hepatitis]], [[Budd-Chiari syndrome|Budd-chiari syndrome]], [[cancer]] or [[metastasis]] to [[liver]]), [[HELLP syndrome]]([[hemolysis]], elevated [[liver function tests]], and low [[Platelet|platelets]]) and [[sepsis]].


==Causes==
==Causes==
An important job of the liver is to change toxic substances that are either made by the body or taken into the body (such as medicines) and make them harmless. However, when the liver is damaged, these "poisons" may build up in the bloodstream.


Ammonia, which is produced by the body when proteins are digested, is one of the harmful substances that is normally made harmless by the liver. Many other substances may also build up in the body if the liver is not working well. They can cause damage to the nervous system.

Overview

The most common cause of hepatic encephalopathy is hepatic cirrhosis, drugs/toxins and acute fulminant hepatitis. Less common causes of hepatic encephalopathy include Wilson's disease, alpha-1-antitripsin deficiency, autoimmune hepatitis, Budd-chiari syndrome, cancer or metastasis to liver), HELLP syndrome(hemolysis, elevated liver function tests, and low platelets) and sepsis.
