Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Actually, I was looking for a continuation of an answer from the previous page. But since you re here... By bro-in-law was a long term alcoholic and has acute cirrhosis of the liver. His brain ammonia levels have been reduced back to relatively low levels, and yet he s experiencing increasingly difficult cognition, just barely ambulatory, confusion, extremely sluggish, depressed, and so on. His GP recently prescribed diazepam for his anxiety and insomnia. My guess is that he may be abusing them, but is there a correlation between diazepam and the appearance of hepatic encephalitis?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. He has high ammonia level due to hepatic encephalopathy. It leads to all the symptoms. You should take treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. Diazepam is not needed. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
