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.
Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare acquired, life-threatening disease of the blood. The disease is characterized by destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), blood clots (thrombosis), and impaired bone marrow function (not making enough of the three blood components). PNH affects 1-1.5 persons per million of the population and is primarily a disease of younger adults.
