    GlossaryHyperammonemia

    condition with elevated ammonia levels in the blood

    Hyperammonemia is a condition characterized by elevated levels of ammonia in the blood. Ammonia is a waste product that is typically processed by the liver and converted into urea, which is then excreted in urine. When the liver is unable to effectively process ammonia, due to liver disease or genetic disorders affecting the urea cycle, it can accumulate in the bloodstream and become toxic, potentially leading to neurological symptoms such as confusion, lethargy, and in severe cases, coma.
