high blood ammonia with hep c
if my blood ammonia is 57 what are the effects
Hello, Orphan Hawk has given you good advice.
The numbers vary from person to person. Mine were 108 when I started on lactulose a medicine that helps to take the ammonia out of the body.
Are you having symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy?
Are you confused?..having trouble with words?..or driving? I have heard that sometimes the number is not as important as how it is affecting you
Good luck
