Most of hepatic encephalopathy patients are high level blood ammonia why?

Answer:
Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disorder. Liver is responsible for excreting excess proteins (CHON) in our body. Ammonia is a by-product of protein. If liver is damaged, ammonia levels will go up and will circulate in our blood (condition called hyperammonemia). This is why patients with liver disease are restricted with protein rich foods.
