  • Title: Ammonia encephalopathy.
    Author: Peltz S, Schwartzman S, Cohen B.
    Journal: N J Med; 1989 Jul; 86(7):554-6. PubMed ID: 2755616.
    Abstract:
    Ureterosigmoidostomy can be complicated by pyelonephritis, renal calculi, hypokalemic hyperchloremic acidosis, and colonic neoplasia. It has been associated with the development of hyperammonemia and encephalopathy in patients with underlying liver disease. We report a rare case of hyperammonemic encephalopathy in a patient with normal liver function.
