Abstract

Hepatic encephalopathy is a significant cirrhosis consequence that causes a variety of neuropsychiatric symptoms such as disorientation, austerity, and coma. Hepatic encephalopathy can cause seizures, which are a rare but potentially serious consequence. We present a one-of-a-kind case in which a 42-year-old woman with a history of well-controlled seizure condition became unresponsive to antiepileptic drugs. Cirrhosis is a complication of a number of different liver diseases that is characterised by aberrant liver structure and function. Cirrhosis is caused by diseases that injure and destroy liver cells, resulting in scar tissue formation as a result of the inflammation and healing that happens as the liver cells die. Cirrhosis is a late stage of liver scarring (fibrosis) induced by a variety of diseases and illnesses, including hepatitis and chronic alcoholism.


THE MAIN DIAGNOSIS, THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION, AND OUTCOME: After physical examination and investigation, doctor was detected a case of 6 week and 6 day cirrhosis of hepatic Encephalopathy with  Patient was treated with analgesic  drugs to reduce pain. Also provided calcium supplements and iron supplements. Present case was stable but ultrasonography finding indicated that it was not the situation.


NURSING PERSPECTIVE: Fluid replenishment is administered. DNS and RL, for example, monitor vital indicators on an hourly basis.


CONCLUSION: Some individuals with chronic hepatitis-C experience cirrhosis regression after antiviral medication. Regression is linked to a lower risk of disease-related morbidity and a higher chance of survival.
