hyperammonemia - condition of increased ammonia in blood Definition for hyperammonemia Hyperammonemia (or 'hyperammonaemia') is a metabolic disturbance characterised by an excess of ammonia in the blood. more Hyperammonemia (or 'hyperammonaemia') is a metabolic disturbance characterised by an excess of ammonia in the blood. It is a dangerous condition that may lead to encephalopathy and death. It may be primary or secondary. Ammonia is a substance that contains nitrogen. It is a product of the catabolism of protein. It is converted to the less toxic substance urea prior to excretion in urine by the kidneys. The metabolic pathways that synthesise urea are located first in the mitochondria and then into the cytosol. The process is known as the urea cycle, which comprises several enzymes acting in sequence. less some common symptoms behavioral changes irritability poor appetite vomiting some related diagnoses 1 - 7 of 233 diagnoses SIADH hyponatremia hypercalcemia hypomagnesemia alcohol withdrawal viral syndrome alcoholism   more do i have 'hyperammonemia'?
