In diabetes, for example, high blood glucose levels can create frustration and even unconsciousness. Metabolic encephalopathy occurs when another medical condition, such as diabetes, liver damage, renal failure, or cardiovascular disease, makes it difficult for the brain to function correctly. The cause is unknown, but it is possible that the immune system attacks the brain and alters its functioning. This type is linked to Hashimoto’s disease, a thyroid condition.
