Fatal Nonhepatic Hyperammonemia in ICU Setting: A Rare but Serious Complication following Bariatric Surgery.

Only registered users can translate articles

Bariatric surgery is well established in reducing weight and improving the obesity-associated morbidity and mortality. Hyperammonemic encephalopathy following bariatric surgery is rare but highly fatal if not diagnosed in time and managed aggressively. Both macro- and micronutrients deficiencies

Transjugular Retrograde Obliteration prior to Liver Resection for Hepatocellular Carcinoma Associated with Hyperammonemia due to Spontaneous Portosystemic Shunt.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 67-year-old woman had hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) measuring 3.7 cm at S8 of the liver with hyperammonemia due to a spontaneous giant mesocaval shunt. Admission laboratory data revealed albumin, 2.9 g/dL; total bilirubin, 1.3 mg/dL; plasma ammonia level (NH3), 152 g/dL; total bile acid (TBA)

Intracranial pressure, cerebral blood flow, and cerebrospinal fluid formation during hyperammonemia in cat.

Only registered users can translate articles

Intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral blood flow (CBF), and the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) formation rate were examined in anesthetized cats during ammonia intoxication. Hyperammonemia, evoked by intravenous infusion of ammonium acetate, caused a significant increase in ICP when the arterial blood

Albumin/asparaginase capsules prepared by ultrasound to retain ammonia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Asparaginase reduces the levels of asparagine in blood, which is an essential amino acid for the proliferation of lymphoblastic malign cells. Asparaginase converts asparagine into aspartic acid and ammonia. The accumulation of ammonia in the bloodstream leads to hyperammonemia, described as one of

Recurrent Hyperammonemia During Enteral Tube Feeding for Severe Protein Malnutrition After Bariatric Surgery.

Only registered users can translate articles

A 28-year-old female was admitted 2 years after gastric bypass limb distalization because of severe weight loss, fatigue, chronic diarrhea, massive edema, and a serum albumin of 10 g/L without proteinuria. A diagnosis of severe energy and protein malnutrition was made, and enteral tube feeding was

[Risk factors for hyperammonemia during mFOLFOX6 treatment].

Only registered users can translate articles

Patients undergoing mFOLFOX6 treatment were classified into a hyperammonemia group (NH3 group) or a non-hyperammonemia group (Non-NH3 group) in order to investigate risk factors related to the onset of hyperammonemia. The NH3 group demonstrated significantly lower lymphocyte counts, hemoglobin and

Nifuroxazide attenuates experimentally-induced hepatic encephalopathy and the associated hyperammonemia and cJNk/caspase-8/TRAIL activation in rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

Hyperammonemia is a serious metabolic disorder associating with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) which occurs secondary to several forms of liver injury ranging from simple acute liver failure (ALF) to its most serious form; cirrhosis. The resent study highlights the possible ameliorative effect of oral

Extracellular brain ammonia levels in association with arterial ammonia, intracranial pressure and the use of albumin dialysis devices in pigs with acute liver failure.

Only registered users can translate articles

In acute liver failure (ALF) hyperammonemia plays a mayor role in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) but does not always correlate with the severity of mental deterioration and intracranial pressure (ICP). The aim of our study was to evaluate the association with extracellular brain

Effect of albumin dialysis on intracranial pressure increase in pigs with acute liver failure: a randomized study.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Increased intracranial pressure (ICP) worsens the outcome of acute liver failure (ALF). This study investigates the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and evaluates the therapeutic effect of albumin dialysis in ALF with use of the Molecular Adsorbents Recirculating System without

Role of Helicobacter pylori and hyperammonemia in subclinical hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis of liver.

Only registered users can translate articles

In a prospective study of 47 patients of subclinical hepatic encephalopathy in cirrhosis of liver, aged between 23 and 60 years, 49% showed Helicobacter pylori positivity by rapid urease test. The baseline characters of patients (mean age, serum creatinine, sereum albumin, serum bilirubin,

Effect of dietary alanyl-glutamine dipeptide against chronic ammonia stress induced hyperammonemia in the juvenile yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco).

Only registered users can translate articles

Triplicate groups of juvenile yellow catfish (1.98 ± 0.01 g) were fed diets supplemented with 0% and 1% alanyl-glutamine dipeptide (AGD) for 56 days under three ammonia concentrations (0.01, 5.70 and 11.40 mg L-1 total ammonia nitrogen). The results showed that ammonia poisoning could induce growth

Calcium-dependent kinases in the brain have site-specific associations with locomotion and rearing impairments in rats with bile duct ligation.

Only registered users can translate articles

We study the impairment of locomotion and rearing behavior in rats with a common bile duct ligation (BDL), and the possible involvement of the PKCγ and CamKIIα gene expression in the brain. Male Wistar rats undergo either sham operation or BDL to induce a rat model of cirrhotic hepatic

Effect of sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate on brain serotonin turnover in the ornithine transcarbamylase-deficient sparse-fur mouse.

Only registered users can translate articles

Herein we examine the effects of sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate on feeding and central serotonin turnover in a child with citrullinemia and in an animal model of congenital hyperammonemia, the ornithine transcarbamylase-deficient sparse-fur (spf/y) mouse. In the child, when the

Hepatic coma recovered after interventional obliteration for ileocecal-inferior vena cava shunt--report of one case.

Only registered users can translate articles

We performed interventional angiography (IVA) in a patient with liver cirrhosis (LC) and hepatoma (HCC) who experienced repeated attacks of unconsciousness due to hyperammonemia caused by ileocecal-inferior vena cava (IC-IVC) shunt and succeeded in the treatment. We report the results below. The

Sodium phenylbutyrate improved the clinical state in an adult patient with arginase 1 deficiency.

Only registered users can translate articles

An adult female patient was diagnosed with arginase 1 deficiency (ARG1-D) at 4 years of age, and had been managed with protein restriction combined with sodium benzoate therapy. Though the treatment was successful in ameliorating hyperammonemia, hyperargininemia persisted. After being under control
