9. Is Encephalopathy Preventable?
Encephalopathy can be life-changing and is associated with fatal disease in some cases. Some types of encephalopathy are not preventable. However, there may be things you can do to lower your risk of developing a preventable form of the condition.
Since preventable encephalopathy usually develops as a result of some underlying health condition, it’s important to take care of your physical health as much as possible. You can do this by eating a healthy diet, avoiding too much alcohol, visiting your doctor for regular checkups and minimizing your exposure to toxic substances such as drugs or chemicals.
