Is L-Ornithine L-Aspartate helpful in hepatic encephalopathy?

Dr. Ram Saini MD, MBBS , General Physician

Yes, L-Ornithine L-Aspartate is helpful in hepatic encephalopathy which is a brain disorder that causes a decline in the functioning of the brain due to the accumulation of ammonia caused by liver damage. L-Ornithine L-Aspartate works by promoting the synthesis of glutamine in our body which is an amino acid that binds with ammonia, this binding results in the formation of a complex which is non-toxic in nature and easily removed from the body by kidneys in urine.
