title: Treatment of hyperlactacidemia in cirrhotic patients with pyridoxine-alpha-ketoglutarate (PAK).
abstract: After pyridoxine-alpha-ketoglutarate (PAK) was administered to patients with hepatic cirrhosis, the blood level values for lactic acid and ammonia showed a statistically significant reduction.
