Overview
Elderly patients and patients with multisystem disease are at risk for the development of encephalopathy.
Risk Factors
Most common cause of encephalopathy is metabolic cause. In this condition there will be increase in toxic substance to brain keeping the person at high risk of encephalopathy.
Common
- Liver diseases
- Renal diseases
- Diabetes
- Underlying brain condition's like stroke ,epilepsy
- Electrolyte abnormalities - hypernatremia, hyponatremia, hypercalcemia
- Uncontrolled hypertension
- Massive trauma
Less common
| PRECIPITATING FACTORS FOR ENCEPHALOPATHY | ||
|---|---|---|
| Underlying Disease | Examples | Precipitating Factors |
| LIVER DISEASES | Cirrhosis, Acute Liver Failure, Budd Chiari Syndrome, Hepatoma | Dehydration, Infection, Constipation, GI Bleeding, Electrolyte Imbalance |
| RENAL DISEASES | Renal Failure, Hyponatremia | Electrolyte Imbalance, Uremia, Dialysis, Uncontrolled HTN, Thiamine Deficiency |
| DIABETES | DKA | Chronic hyperglycemia, Stress, Trauma, Infection, SGLT-2 inhibitors, Thiazide Diuretics, Acute pancreatitis |
| STROKE, EPILEPSY | Ischemic stroke, Status Epilepticus | Acute seizure, Acute stroke |
