Kidney plays a major role in ammonia homeostasis after portasystemic shunting in patients with cirrhosis

The kidney plays an important role in ammonia metabolism. In this study the hypothesis was tested that the kidney can acutely diminish ammonia release after portacaval shunting. Thirteen patients with cirrhosis (6 female/7 male, age 54.4 +/- 3.3 yr) were studied. Blood was sampled prior to and 1 h a...
