When ammonia accumulates in your blood it is toxic mainly to the brain. In severe cases, its accumulation may cause decreased level of consciousness and coma. CARBAGLU is used to treat hyperammonemia (a condition in which high levels of ammonia are found in the plasma), in patients with hyperammonemia caused by: lack of a liver enzyme called N-acetylglutamate synthase. Patients with this rare condition cannot eliminate nitrogen, a waste material which accumulates in their body as a result of eating protein. This medical condition persists throughout a patient's life, therefore the need for this treatment is lifelong. certain acidemia conditions (propionic acidemia, isovaleric acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia). Patients suffering from one of these conditions must be treated during the hyperammonemia stage of their illness. THERAPEUTIC GROUP: CPS (carbamoyl phosphate synthase) activator. 2.

As examples - In a comatose child, start with a dose of 100 to 250 mg/kg/day and measure ammonia plasma concentration at least before each administration; it should normalise within a few hours after starting Carbaglu. - In a patient with moderate hyperammonaemia, administer a test dose of 100 to 200 mg/kg/day 2 for 3 days with a constant protein intake and perform repeated determinations of ammonia plasma c اقرأ الوثيقة كاملة
