Do liver problems cause Alzheimer's?

There is some interesting data that suggest that Alzheimer’s may originate in the liver. The liver helps clear out certain plaques so they don’t spread to other parts of the body. But when the liver is compromised, it can have a hard time getting rid of the plaquing, which can then develop in the brain. Additionally, some of the symptoms of fatty liver disease and cirrhosis are similar to Alzheimer’s disease.
