Overview
The most common cause of hepatic encephalopathy is hepatic cirrhosis, drug and toxins and acute fulminant hepatitis. Less common causes of hepatic encephalopathy include Wilson's disease, porphyria, alpha-1-antitripsin deficiency, autoimmune hepatitis, Budd-chiari syndrome, cancer(primary hepatic cancer or metastasis to liver), HELLP syndrome(hemolysis, elevated liver function tests, and low platelets) and sepsis.
Causes
Common Causes
Common causes of hepatic encephalopathy include:
- Hepatic cirrhosis
- Drug and toxins(acetaminophen, amoxicilin/clavulanate, halothane, iron, NSAIDs, isoniazid ,carbon tetrachloride, Wild mushroom Amanita phalloides)
- Acute fulminant viral hepatitis
Less Common Causes
Less common causes of hepatic encephalopathy include:
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Budd-chiari syndrome
- Cancer(primary hepatic cancer or metastasis to liver)
- HELLP syndrome(hemolysis, elevated liver function tests, and low platelets)
- Sepsis
- Right heart failure
