D. Norenberg Results of a histochemical study of glutamic dehydrogenase in experimental portal-systemic encephalopathy with hyperammonemia indicate that the enzyme's activity in brain was increased in all stages of the encephalopathy, and this increase appeared to be localized exclusively in astrocytes. The results are consistent with the view that the astrocyte has a critical role in ammonia metabolism in brain, probably in ammonia

Preview : Hepatic encephalopathy is characterized by neuropsychiatric manifestations ranging from a slightly altered mental status to coma, and neuromuscular symptoms may be present. This complication of chronic or acute liver disease is a result of the failure of the liver to detoxify toxins originating in the intestine. The pathogenesis probably is multifactorial, although the predominant causative agent appears to be ammonia. In this article, Drs Abou-Assi and Vlahcevic discuss the timely recognition and correction of factors contributing to this often reversible condition.

Extractions: Lactulose is a synthetic disaccharide used in the treatment of constipation and in hepatic encephalopathy. Studies in patients with a history of chronic constipation have shown that lactulose therapy causes a significant increase in the number of bowel movements per day and the number of days on which bowel movements occur. Lactulose reaches the colon virtually unchanged. There it is metabolised by colonic bacteria to lactic acid and other shortchain carboxylic acids. The end result is a change in the osmotic pressure and acidification of the colonic contents resulting in an increase in stool water content with resultant distention and softening of the stool which in turn promotes increased peristalsis and bowel evacuation. It may take 48 hours before an effect is obtained. The therapeutic action of lactulose in ameliorating the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy is considered to be a result of the following: Reduction of faecal pH leading to a reduced ammonia absorption via nonionic diffusion and/or diffusion of ammonia from the blood into the gut. The trapped ammonia is then excreted in the stools. Suppression of urase producing organisms Induction of an osmotic type of diarrhoea which diminishes faecal statis with reduction of nitrogenous substances for ammonia production. Decreased absorption of ammonia from the gut also results from shortening intestinal transit time.
