Research from the Feinstein Institutes finds early brain warning signs in severe liver damage
Acute liver injury (ALI), often triggered by conditions such as acetaminophen overdose, can rapidly progress to life-threatening and lethal acute liver failure (ALF). The brain is also profoundly affected by these conditions. To help identify warning signs before severe damage, including brain fog, scientists at Northwell Health’s Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research have found non-invasive ways to detect critical brain changes in ALI/ALF, offering a more precise, timely diagnostic approach.
