[Clinical value of ammonia determination in venous blood in chronic cor pulmonale].

The authors have examined 43 workers of the Warszawa works: 20 healthy persons and 23 with chronic pulmocardiac syndrome. An increased ammonia level in venous blood, above 48 gamma %, was found in those with chronic pulmocardiac syndrome with simultaneous circulatory insufficiency. Ammonia level in the blood of those with chronic pulmocardiac syndrome but without circulatory insufficiency was normal. These studies indicate that the increase of ammonia concentration in venous blood in chronic pulmocardiac syndrome results from disturbance in hepatic cell function, intensified during circulatory insufficiency.
