The hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria syndrome [PDF]
Hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria (HHH) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of the urea cycle. HHH has a panethnic distribution, with a major prevalence in Canada, Italy and Japan.

Valproic acid induced hyperammonemic encephalopathy: A case report (Turkish) [PDF]
Valproic acid (VPA) is commonly used drug to treat variety of anticonvulsant and mood stabilizer in psychiatric and neurologic cases. It is thought to be a safe drug with a large therapeutic aspect..Uncommonly, hyperammonemia can be progressed by the

Host and fungal factors both contribute to cryptococcosis-associated hyperammonemia (cryptammonia)
Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii are both known urease producers and have the potential to cause hyperammonemia. We hypothesized that the risk of hyperammonemia is increased by renal failure, burden of cryptococcal infection, and fungal ...

Clinical practice: the management of hyperammonemia [PDF]
Hyperammonemia is a life-threatening condition which can affect patients at any age. Elevations of ammonia in plasma indicate its increased production and/or decreased detoxification. The hepatic urea cycle is the main pathway to detoxify ammonia; it can

The Pros & Cons of Measuring Plasma Ammonia in the Management of Patients With Cirrhosis: An ISHEN Debate [PDF]
ABSTRACT Ammonia is a nitrogenous molecule which is primarily generated in the gastrointestinal tract. The neurotoxicity of ammonia plays a critical role in the liver's regulation of circulating ammonia levels. In liver disease, an increase in blood ammonia has been long implicated in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE), a neurological ...

β‐Catenin/c‐Myc Axis Modulates Autophagy Response to Different Ammonia Concentrations
Ammonia, detoxified by the liver into urea and glutamine, impacts autophagy differently at varying levels. Low ammonia activates autophagy via c‐Myc and β‐catenin, while high levels suppress it. Using Huh7 cells and Spf‐ash mice, c‐Myc's role in cytoprotective autophagy is revealed, offering insights into hyperammonemia and potential therapeutic ...

Hyperammonemia induces programmed liver cell death [PDF]
Hyperammonemia is common in liver cirrhosis and causally associated with hepatic encephalopathy development. Little is known about its hepatotoxic effects, which we aimed to characterize in this study.

Measuring Blood Plasma Glutamine Levels Using a Nanopore‐Based Sensor
Glutamine (GLN) is a biomarker useful for predicting toxic ammonia accumulation. Here, we used a biosensor based on the Cytolysin A (ClyA) nanopore coupled with the GLN‐specific protein substrate‐binding domain 2 (SBD2) to demonstrate real‐time measurement of GLN in blood plasma, highlighting the potential for future point‐of‐care applications ...
