My twin brother suffers from Huntington's chorea and I have been reading about disease but I am very interesting in possible complications. He suffers predominantly from movement disorder but sometimes expresses and disturbance in thinking, concentration and coordination. Can Huntington affect on vital organs or it affects only on nervous system?

Complications of Huntington's chorea are secondary clinical conditions, symptoms or other various disorders that are initially caused by Huntington's chorea. Common complications include swallowing difficulty, enormous increase in appetite, weight loss, manic-depressive disorders, incontinence choreoathetosis, and chronic brain failure. Many people with Huntington's disease develop depression, and some are at risk of suicide.
