| Altered sensorium refers to changes in awareness, consciousness, or cognition, and it can result from various serious medical conditions. Common causes include head injury, stroke, infections like meningitis, severe dehydration, and electrolyte imbalances. Low blood sugar, high fever, liver or kidney failure, and drug or alcohol intoxication may also lead to confusion or reduced responsiveness. In elderly individuals, sudden confusion may be related to infections or metabolic disturbances. Prompt diagnosis is essential to prevent complications. Medicover Hospitals offers advanced evaluation and treatment for patients experiencing altered sensorium. |
