Apr 9th, 2021 - We described two liver transplants for patients with end-stage liver disease and spontaneous portal-systemic shunt (SPSS). We ligated the splenorenal shunt (SRS) in the first case but did not ligate it in the second case. Postoperative examination...

Feb 6th, 2021 - The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of non-hepatic hyperammonemia (NHH) with the prognosis of critically ill patients with NHH.According to the serum ammonia level, the patients with NHH (n = 498) were retrieved by us. The risk f...

Jan 11th, 2021 - To assess the association between serum ammonia level upon admission during the initial intensive care unit (ICU) stay and mortality. This retrospective cohort study included 2703 adult patients in eICU Collaborative Research Database. The ICU mor...

Sep 11th, 2020 - Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is a common feature of acute liver failure and has been reported to be associated with poor outcomes. Ammonia is thought to be central to the pathogenesis of HE, but its role in hepatitis B virus-related acute-on-chroni...

Sep 3rd, 2020 - Hepatic encephalopathy is an adverse event resulting from lenvatinib use in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We analyzed the influence of lenvatinib on portal venous flow velocity (PVV) and serum ammonia concentration. Eleven patients...

Jan 2nd, 2020 - Diagnosis and management. If a patient receiving VPA is experiencing nausea, fatigue, or somnolence, it is important to check the patient’s ammonia level (normal range: 11 to 32 µmol/L) and VPA total levels (therapeutic range: 50 to 125 µg/mL).

Oct 1st, 2016 - This last point is critical because it can delay VHE identification and treatment or worse, result in misdiagnosis with accompanying continuation or escalation of VPA dosing as has initially occurred in Mr. D’s case.

Oct 5th, 2014 - Misconnections in Healthcare A pediatric intensive nurse was taking care of a very fussy baby girl on the night shift. The baby had a urea cycle defect (an inborn error of metabolism) and, shortly after birth, developed a high blood ammonia level ...
