  2. Hyperammonemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperammonemia

    Hyperammonemia, or high ammonia levels, is a metabolic disturbance characterised by an excess of ammonia in the blood. Severe hyperammonemia is a dangerous condition that may lead to brain injury and death. It may be primary or secondary. Ammonia is a substance that contains nitrogen. It is a product of the catabolism of protein.

  3. Hepatic encephalopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatic_encephalopathy

    The diagnosis of hepatic encephalopathy is a clinical one, once other causes for confusion or coma have been excluded; no test fully diagnoses or excludes it. Serum ammonia levels are elevated in 90% of people, but not all hyperammonaemia (high ammonia levels in the blood) is associated with encephalopathy.

  4. Transient hyperammonemia of the newborn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_hyperammonemia...

    Severe Transient Hyperammonemia is diagnosed when ammonia levels are above 50 μM up to as much as 4000 μM. Severe Transient Hyperammonemia causes neurological problems as ammonia levels in the brain are too high, which can cause infant hyptotonia as well as neonatal seizures. [ 5 ]

    Clinical findings in HHH syndrome are non-specific. If the disorder is suspected, laboratory testing can provide diagnostic information. Plasma amino acid analysis will show elevated ornithine levels, and urine amino acids will detect homocitrulline. Orotic acid may also be elevated. Ammonia levels can be variably elevated.

    Brain problems due to high ammonia levels; Low body temperature; Hypersensitivity reactions including multi-organ hypersensitivity syndrome; Eosinophilic pleural effusion; Bone fractures (reduced BMD with long-term use)

  7. Argininosuccinic aciduria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argininosuccinic_aciduria

    Diagnosis is based mainly on clinical findings and laboratory test results. Plasma concentrations of ammonia (>150 μmol/L) and citrulline (200-300 μmol/L) are elevated. Elevated levels of argininosuccinic acid (5-110 μmol/L) in the plasma or urine are diagnostic. Molecular genetic testing confirms diagnosis.
