ResumoSummary Arginine glutamate infusions were given to two patients with advanced liver disease. This treatment reduced venous blood ammonia levels in both, and brought about temporary clinical improvement in one. Urea synthesis appears to have been stimulated. No other significant changes in blood chemistry, and only slight clinical side‐effects, were recorded.
