Differentiating X from other Diseases
- Hepatic encephalopathy must be differentiated from other diseases that cause personality changes, altered level of consciousness and jerking movement of the limbs(asterixis) such as, complicated alcohol withdrawal, Wernicke encephalopathy, alcohol intoxication, metabolic abnormalities(hypoglycemia, electrolyte imbalance, hypercarbia, and uremia) ,toxic encephalopathy from drugs(sedative, salicylates, antidepressants and antipsychotic drugs), altered intracranial pressure(intracranial tumors, ,subdural hematoma, intracranial bleeding and abscesses), intoxication by chemical agents, malnutrition, hypoxia of brain, and sever intracranial or systemic infections(meningitis and encephalitis).
Diseases | History and Symptoms | Physical Examination | Laboratory Findings | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Personality changes | Altered level of consciousness | Jerking movement of the limbs(asterixis) | Slurred speech | Writing disturbances | Voice monotonous | Impaired memory | Elevated blood ammonia | Hyponatremia | hypokalemia | |
