Am I understanding this correctly? My mom just returned home for another hospital stay. On her discharge papers UTI, Encephalopathy was the cause for her stay. I looked it up and the definition said: any degenerative disease of the brain, often associated with toxic conditions. See also BSE. So before I jump to a wrong conclusion I wanted to know if any of your parents were diagnosed with this and if so did the Dr. give any advice about where to go from here?
Dementia is one type of encephalopathy (broken brain).
