Effect of l-ornithine-l-aspartate therapy on the hyperammonemia level and results of the number connection test of patients suffering from nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
Year: 2020
Type: article
Study design: Clinical Trial
Abstract: The aim was to study the hyperammonemia level and the duration of implementation of the number connection test (NCT) for patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the pre-cirrhosis stage, including effect of the oral administration of L-ornithine-L-aspartate (LOLA) on these indices, and NCT correlation with body chemistry values. Material and methods: the research covered 103 patients with NAFLD to study the hyperammonemia level and other relevant blood chemistry values; we performed NCT before and after the LOLA treatment.
