Encephalopathy Fact #5: Caused By Organ Damage
Our body’s organs are all effective at their particular jobs. They help us to breathe. They help blood circulate. They help get energy from our food. And they also help to keep our bodies free from disease and toxins. We are reliant upon them for our survival and well-being and things can go quite wrong if our organs begin to fail.
Should our livers begin to fail, for example, it can affect its ability to clean the body of toxins. This can mean more toxins circulating through the blood, and this can cause damage to the brain. Similar problems can happen if the kidneys begin to fail.
