Encephalopathy is a broad term referring to any disease or disorder that alters brain function or structure. This condition may arise for various reasons, such as lack of oxygen (anoxic encephalopathy), repeated head impacts (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), an abnormal immune system (Hashimoto's encephalopathy), or liver disease (hepatic encephalopathy.) The outcomes can greatly vary; while some forms are reversible with prompt and appropriate treatment, others can unfortunately be fatal.

In the bustling city of Mumbai, where the pace of life is incredibly fast, residents may often overlook health issues until they become more serious. This is why the encephalopathy doctors at Apollo Hospitals are committed to raising awareness about the condition. Recognising the early signs of encephalopathy and consulting with the best encephalopathy doctors in the city can make a substantial difference in managing the disease.

Types of Encephalopathy

Encephalopathy presents itself in various types:

  • Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy: This type is triggered by repeated brain trauma, and is common in athletes and military personnel who have experienced multiple brain traumas.

  • Glycine Encephalopathy: Glycine Encephalopathy is an inherited metabolic disorder characterised by elevated glycine levels, leading to neurological symptoms like intellectual disability, seizures, and hypotonia.

  • Hashimoto's Encephalopathy (HE): It is a neurological condition characterised by brain dysfunction, thyroid autoimmunity, and a positive response to corticosteroids.

  • Hepatic Encephalopathy: This type of encephalopathy is characterised by a decline in brain function that occurs as a result of severe liver disease or liver failure.

  • Hypertensive Encephalopathy: Hypertensive encephalopathy is a condition characterised by brain dysfunction resulting from severely elevated blood pressure.

  • Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE): HIE is a serious brain injury that occurs when the brain is deprived of adequate oxygen and blood flow, commonly affecting newborns during difficult births.

Symptoms of Encephalopathy

Encephalopathy can present with a range of symptoms such as:

  • Altered mental state

  • Personality changes

  • Memory loss

  • Seizures

  • Poor coordination

  • Difficulty in movement

Tests to Diagnose Encephalopathy

Encephalopathy is diagnosed by encephalopathy treatment doctors through various clinical examinations and tests, such as:

  • Physical Examination: Doctors assess the patient's overall health condition.

  • Metabolic Tests: To check for any metabolic disorders.

  • Drug/Toxin Levels: To identify any harmful substances in the body that might be causing symptoms.

  • Imaging Scans: MRI or CT scans can provide detailed images of the brain for diagnosing encephalopathy.
