title: [Blood ammonia evaluation in acute hepatitis A and B].
abstract: The significance of blood ammonia levels was assessed in 100 cases of viral hepatitis (82 cases of AVH B end 18 cases of AVH A). No valid correlation was noted between the course of blood ammonia levels and that of clinical symptoms or the other blood chemical parameters considered (transaminase, prothrombin time, bilirubinemia and parameters strictly related to the clinical course).
