The Effects of Ammonia Tolerance Tests on the Cerebrospinal Fluid Concentrations of Amino Acids and Indoleamines in Patients with Liver Cirrhosis

To study the effect of ammonia administration on amino acids and indoleamines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and on amino acids, insulin, and glucagon in plasma in humans with liver cirrhosis, we performed seven ammonia tolerance tests on six patients with stable liver cirrhosis.

description To study the effect of ammonia administration on amino acids and indoleamines in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and on amino acids, insulin, and glucagon in plasma in humans with liver cirrhosis, we performed seven ammonia tolerance tests on six patients with stable liver cirrhosis. The grade of encephalopathy was determined by psychometric tests. Only one of the patients had pronounced encephalopathy. The other patients had no or only slight encephalopathy. The plasma concentrations of valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine, and methionine decreased after the ammonia load, whereas no changes were found in the plasma concentrations of glucagon and insulin. In CSF the concentrations of glutamine, aromatic amino acids, and indoleamines increased only in the patient who had pronounced encephalopathy, whereas no changes were found in the other patients. The effect of an ammonia load on the concentrations of neutral amino acids in CSF in patients with pronounced encephalopathy remains to be demonstrated.
