Hyperammonemia is quite serious and may be the cause of quite a few complications like encephalopathy and sometimes may even cause death. Under normal circumstances a person has anywhere between 10-40 Âµmol/L of ammonia in the blood, but in cases of Hyperammonemia this is markedly increased resulting in numerous life threatening complications.
Ammonia is the combination of Nitrogen (produced from protein breakdown) and Hydrogen. An excess in the body is known as hyperammonaemia and can result in cell damage, vomitting, fatigue, Helicobacter pylori infection, confusion, irritability and nausea.
