Are patients with cerebral atrophy life threatening?

Hello, cerebral atrophy disease is generally not life-threatening. Brain atrophy is a slow, progressive disease. Patients will experience communication difficulties, memory loss, ataxia and other symptoms.

Cerebral atrophy disease should be done in a regular hospital for a detailed examination, and targeted prevention should be clarified. Cerebral atrophy is not complete. Therefore, first of all, we must go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination, and give effective control after clarifying.

There are many causes of brain atrophy. For example, there are cerebral ischemia caused by the lack of trace elements in the body, some patients are hereditary, and some patients are due to drug poisoning or head trauma surgery, cerebrovascular diseases will cause cerebral atrophy diseases.

After clarifying**, you should follow the doctor's guidance and actively cooperate**. It is best for patients to do more outdoor exercise in their daily life, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins, which can prevent the aggravation of brain atrophy.

Cerebral atrophy does not directly lead to life-threatening, but when cerebral atrophy is severe to a certain extent, the patient is unable to eat, unable to take care of himself, and can lead to nutritional disorders after being bedridden, and in severe cases, he can have pneumonia and pressure ulcers, and finally his life is in danger because of infection.

The brain atrophy of the elderly to a certain extent, such as the whole brain atrophy, is easy to dementia, no memory, after going out, there is a danger of death.

Brain atrophy itself is a gradual and progressive process, and it will not die suddenly because of brain atrophy, but after long-term brain atrophy is obvious, it will cause poor memory and reaction ability, and there will be a certain danger after going out, because the symptoms caused by brain atrophy indirectly appear life-threatening and will not lead to direct death.

However, if brain atrophy is particularly severe and combined with other diseases, it can lead to sudden death.

The buzz won't.

Cerebral atrophy disease does not cause death, nor does it affect the life expectancy of patients, and cerebral atrophy disease is a cognitive dysfunction and a slowly progressive disease. If you have brain atrophy, you should also prevent it according to the specific condition and **, which is the best. For example, brain atrophy caused by the lack of trace elements in the body, such as lack of vitamin B12 or lack of folic acid caused by brain atrophy, in this case, you can take folic acid or vitamin B12 to improve brain atrophy or control the progress of brain atrophy disease; If cerebral atrophy is caused by cerebral ischemia, then it is necessary to take drugs to improve cerebral blood circulation to control the progression of cerebral atrophy.

In daily life, we should also have a good living habits, prohibit smoking and alcohol, have appropriate physical exercise, avoid overwork, ensure adequate sleep and rest, and avoid staying up late, which can effectively prevent brain atrophy from continuing to worsen.

Doctor Wonderful Hands.

Cerebral atrophy is generally seen in the elderly, and the common causes include chronic cerebral ischemia, some inflammation, and some neurodegenerative diseases, and the harm of cerebral atrophy is mainly manifested in the following aspects.

First, there may be cognitive decline, mainly mental decline, slow response, which is manifested in obvious memory loss, calculation is also significantly reduced, and even spatial dysfunction, such as going out and not being able to find the way home. People may also experience hallucinations, such as seeing things that don't exist and believing them to be convinced.

Second, patients with cerebral atrophy may also have limb inflexibility, some limb stiffness, and tremors.

Third, patients with cerebellar atrophy may develop ataxia and walk unsteadily, as if drunk. Cerebral atrophy must be found out the cause and carried out according to **.

Brain atrophy refers to the phenomenon of atrophy caused by organic lesions in the brain tissue itself due to various reasons. Physiologically, the volume of brain tissue is reduced, the number of cells is reduced, and the ventricles and subarachnoid space are enlarged. The disease mostly occurs in people over 50 years old, the course of the disease can reach several years to decades, more men than women, can be divided into diffuse brain atrophy (including cortical atrophy, cerebellar atrophy and cortex, cerebellum, brainstem atrophy) and localized brain atrophy (more common after localized brain organic lesions such as trauma, vascular disease, intracranial localized ** infection, etc.).

Brain atrophy is a neuroimaging manifestation of many diseases, as it was originally named after the reduction in the size of brain tissue and the enlargement of the ventricles during CT or MRI examinations.

The clinical manifestations of cerebral atrophy can be divided into two categories: cerebral function decline and cognitive decline, which are mainly related to the location and degree of cerebral atrophy. Diffuse cerebral cortex atrophy is mainly characterized by dementia, mental retardation, memory impairment, personality changes, and behavioral disorders. Some are accompanied by hemiplegia and seizures.

Focal brain atrophy is dominated by personality and behavioral changes; Cerebellar atrophy is dominated by speech impairment, limb ataxia, and intention tremor.

1.Systemic symptoms.

In the early stage of the lesion, patients often have dizziness and headache, insomnia and dreams, soreness in the waist and knees, numbness in the hands and feet, tinnitus and deafness, and gradually become unresponsive, slow in movement, muttering, and answering questions that are not answered. In the physical aspect, it is often manifested as senile state of dragon clock, white tooth loss, dryness, pigmentation, or hemiplegia, epilepsy, ataxia, tremor, etc., and neurological symptoms may or may not be present.

2.Memory impairment.

Memory loss of recent events occurs earlier, such as frequent loss of objects and forgetting promised things. As the disease progresses, it gradually leads to complete loss of memory.

3.Changes in personality behavior.

Personality changes are often an early symptom of the disease, with people becoming depressed and disliking people; or manifested as a lack of ideals, desires, and feelings for their children and relatives; or have rigid and bizarre living habits, impatient personality, increased speech or verbosity, suspicious and selfish; or have a special concern for their own health and safety, and are often entangled by some minor discomforts; or manifested by amnesia or mania, with delusions, visual hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, aphasia, and agnosia. All high-level emotional activities, shame, responsibility, honor and morality are reduced to varying degrees, and sleep rhythm changes can also occur.

4.Mental retardation, dementia.

It is manifested as an overall decline in intellectual activities such as comprehension, judgment, and calculation ability, unable to adapt to social life, and difficult to be competent for work and household chores; Gradually, they can't answer their names, ages, eat, and don't know how to get home, and they collect waste paper and miscellaneous items as treasures. In the later stage of the disease, he was bedridden all day long, unable to take care of himself, did not care for himself, was incontinent, slurred speech, slurred speech, and finally became completely demented.

Cerebral atrophy is a neurological disease that produces atrophy due to organic lesions in brain tissue caused by various reasons, which is very complex, with a slow onset and is not easy to be found, and the course of the disease is relatively long, which has a certain impact on the normal life and work of patients, so we must find it as soon as possible, and it is of great significance to properly control the disease.

Before death, patients with cerebral atrophy usually die of respiratory failure caused by severe lung infection, and some patients with cerebral atrophy disease die of severe infection caused by severe bedsores, which causes sepsis and septic shock. Patients with cerebral atrophy disease need to stay in bed for a long time, and in severe cases, they will have symptoms of bulbar dysfunction, which is manifested by drinking water and coughing, difficulty swallowing, etc., and it is easy to develop aspiration pneumonia and other diseases, which are very difficult to control, and eventually lead to respiratory failure or sepsis and death.

The question of how long can you live with the disease of cerebral atrophy is also different because of each person's condition and physique, and the disease of cerebral atrophy does not make people lose their lives, if it is not timely ** will cause other complications, these serious complications will put patients at risk of losing their lives.

Cerebral atrophy is a disease that causes cranial nerve dysfunction due to the corresponding reduction of brain tissue cells, and the main clinical symptom of cerebral atrophy is dementia, especially the elderly are prone to Alzheimer's disease. Cerebral atrophy is a mental degenerative disease caused by the reduction of brain tissue volume due to a variety of reasons, mostly caused by heredity, brain trauma, cerebral infarction, encephalitis, cerebral ischemia, hypoxia, cerebral arteriosclerosis, gas poisoning, alcohol poisoning, etc., causing brain parenchymal destruction and nerve cell atrophy, deformation, and disappearance, the most important of which is caused by long-term chronic ischemia of cerebral blood vessels. Brain atrophy not only causes suffering to patients, but also places a heavy burden on families, societies and countries.

Cerebral atrophy is a disease that can be basically divided into four stages (early stage, early stage, middle stage, and advanced stage).

1) Early stage of lesions: patients with restlessness, depression, and paranoia as the main manifestation states, and there will be headache, dizziness, insomnia or drowsiness, obvious forgetfulness, insufficient blood supply to cerebral arteries, memory loss and other signs. However, at this stage, the patient has not yet developed cognitive dysfunction, and CT and MRI cannot detect brain atrophy, so it belongs to the early stage of the lesion and is the best prevention period.

2) Early stage of lesions: patients will have long-term headache, dizziness, forgetfulness (such as forgetting what to eat just after eating), insomnia, soreness in the waist and knees, numbness of the hands and feet, frequent urination, and urgency. Obvious abnormalities in emotional behavior, suspicious, selfish, unresponsive, slow in action, etc.

3) Lesion stage: the patient has disorientation (unable to find a home when going out, often forgetting the road), unresponsiveness, answering questions that are not answered, talking to himself, ataxia (unsteady standing and walking, tilting back and forth, unstable balance), coughing, enuresis, tremor of the hands and feet, not knowing whether to eat when hungry, and often hallucinations and delusions.

4) Advanced stage of lesions: the patient has obvious dementia, intelligence and physical fitness are basically out of control, and he does not know what his name is or how old he is. Unable to take the initiative to eat, incontinent, bedridden for many years, unable to take care of himself, and must be cared for by others.

Generally speaking, it is recommended to have an understanding of this situation with your attending doctor and conduct a specific analysis. In normal times, the most important thing is to do a good job in nursing work. In normal times, the diet should be as light and easy to digest as possible.

If necessary, it is necessary to supplement some nutrient solution.

Cerebral atrophy is a common disease in middle-aged and elderly people, the key is prevention, and drugs to nourish cranial nerves and improve circulation can be used at ordinary times.

Such patients have reached the end of their lives from the beginning of their illness.

It's better to ** as soon as possible, it will be difficult to speak and walk in the later stage.

If it's getting worse, it's probably going to be paralyzed.

How long has it been serious now.

Deficiency of qi and blood, cerebrospinal insufficiency and cause this disease, so when the cerebellar atrophy** should be based on replenishing qi and nourishing blood, nourishing the brain and strengthening the brain. Commonly used traditional Chinese medicines: purple river car, longan meat, Yizhiren, sour jujube kernel, ginseng, atractylodes, poria cocos, angelica, white peony, yam, polygonatum essence, astragalus, etc., can be added or subtracted with symptoms.

How long has it been now and what has it shown?

Now the symptoms are mild, if not in time, let the disease develop more and more serious, and even appear incontinence, hemiplegia, life can not take care of the symptoms of life, family care is also quite troublesome.

Guidance and suggestion: It is recommended that patients can adopt the best method of physical plus traditional Chinese medicine, and formulate the best plan by combining traditional Chinese medicine with modern Western brain cell technology. Identify the patient's triggers and precise brain damage site in detail, and formulate a one-to-one detailed diagnosis and treatment plan for the patient.

It has the characteristics of fast effect, high safety and good healing effect, which avoids the limb trauma caused by surgery and avoids the impact of Western medicine on the patient's body.
