Ya, that is what the doctor ordered was Lactulose. So then it can also be caused by other chronic liver diseases?

Has anyone worked with someone with hepatic encephalopathy? What causes this?

Hello- I was just wondering more about appendicitis. I took care of a young gentleman in my clinical experience that came in with pain in his right lower abodomen. We got his labs back and they showed a decreased WBC level, but the cat scan and x-ray showed an enlarged appendix. Why were the WBC level low? He also had a spleenectomy the year prior, so I was a little confused with his labs. Someone mentioned that it could have sealed off, what exactly is this? Any suggestions?
