ABSTRACT
Hepatic encephalopathy is a
common condition in patients with
liver failure, mostly cirrhotic
patients, caused by high levels of
plasmatic ammonia. Like any
metabolite in the body, its
homeostasis is determined by the
balance between production and
elimination. This case presents a
52-year-old male with noncirrhotic
hyperammonemia and
normal liver function, with
portosystemic vascular mal
formations requiring hemodialysis.
