A member asked:
Labs for liver ammonia says 76. high end of normal is 32. husband hasn't taken lacutulose or other medicine for a month. seems ok. is this ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The ammonia level is worrisome and he should resume daily lactulose and avoid high meat and high protein intake and completely abstain from alcohol. Somnolence would be an ominous sign of impending liver coma. I assume that a hepatologist or gastroenterologist is following him and his liver status closely.
