First, increase the sources of nitrogen-containing substances such as ammonia and other poisons, such as excessive protein, gastrointestinal bleeding, azotemia, oral ammonium salt, urea, methionine, etc. Constipation is also a negative factor, which slows down the discharge of toxic substances.

Second, portal hypertension caused by liver cirrhosis causes esophageal and gastric fundus vein rupture and bleeding. After massive hemorrhage, on the one hand, the decrease of blood volume leads to the decrease of red blood cells and the lack of oxygen carrying, which can directly lead to cerebral ischemia and hypoxia and coma; On the other hand, because the intestinal hematocele produces ammonia under the action of bacteria, it causes the increase of blood ammonia and promotes hepatic encephalopathy.

Third, it aggravates the damage to hepatocytes and further reduces liver function. Such as surgery, anesthesia, sedatives, some anti tuberculosis drugs, infection and hypoxia. In chronic liver disease, the cause of hepatic encephalopathy can be found in about half of cases.
