Cerebral edema leading to cerebral herniation (CH) is a common cause of death in acute liver failure (ALF). Animal studies have related ammonia with this complication. During liver failure, hepatic ammonia removal can be expected to determine the arterial ammonia level. In patients with ALF, we exam
