These include primary (i.e., disorders intrinsic to the brain) and secondary (i.e., extracranial) metabolic conditions that adversely affect cerebral function. Brain dysfunction or damage caused by acquired (i.e., non-inborn) metabolic disorders. Associated conditions include endocrine diseases; water-electrolyte imbalance; kidney diseases; liver diseases; anoxia (hypoxia, brain); nutritional disorders (see nutritional and metabolic diseases); an encephalopathy associated with hemodialysis; and other disorders.
