Abstract :

Plasma Homocysteine (PHcy) and Blood Ammonia (BA) Levels are proposed to be involved in hepatic fionogenesis and portosystemicencephapathy. Plasma Homocysteine (PHcy) and Blood Ammonia (BA) levels are increased in post absorptive patients with biopsy proven liver cirrhosis. There is also evaluating spenomegaly and hypersplnism(Thrombocytopenia)for the severity of liver cirrhosis patients. Identifying cirrhosis patients with high levels of plasma Homocysteine (PHcy) and Blood Ammonia (BA) concertration could be clinically useful.
