Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, severe liver damage can lead to impaired urea synthesis, resulting in elevated blood ammonia levels. Treatment: Quickly remove ammonia from the body while providing sufficient calories and essential amino acids to reduce protein breakdown. Administer adequate fluids and electrolytes intravenously. Glucose and insulin can be added to supplement calories. Sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate can also be used. It is recommended that you seek medical attention as soon as possible.
