Hyperammonemia Neonatal Disease Impact Factor

Hyperammonemia is usually defined as a level of plasma above 80 µmol/L in infants up to 1 month of age and above 55 µmol/L in older children.1 Hyperammonemia is an acute life-threatening condition which can lead to extreme cerebral edema and neurologic impairment. The key risk factors for hyperammonemia-related neurological defects and death are coma length, ammonia peak level, and hyperammonia length. Hyperammonaemia in children is primarily caused by serious liver failure and metabolism inborn errors. In an acute setting, obtaining reliable levels of ammonia from plasma can be challenging due to the pre-analytical difficulties that need to be carefully addressed.
