NON-CIRRHOTIC HYPERAMMONEMIA WITH NORMAL RENAL FUNCTION AS A CRITERION FOR DIALYSIS. CASE REPORT
Abstract
Hepatic encephalopathy is a common condition in patients with liver failure, mostly cirrhotic patients, caused by high levels of plasmatic ammonia. Like any metabolite in the body, its homeostasis is determined by the balance between production and elimination. This case presents a 52-year-old male with non-cirrhotic hyperammonemia and normal liver function, with portosystemic vascular malformations and requiring hemodialysis.
