The AA. administered i.v. large doses of gamma-ethylester of glutamic acid to 22 patients affected with severe liver failure associated to mental and neuromuscolar abnormalities as tremors, confusion, restlesness which have been duly recorded for the purpose of this evaluation. The average daily dose was 36.3 gm and the treatment lasted as an average 9.5 days. The peripheral venous blood ammonia was checked, at the beginning and at the end of the treatment, in all the patients and in some, at random, the following parameters were determined: pH, pCO2, pO2, HCO3, TCO2, oxygen saturation on arterial blood. The treatment caused a statistically remarkable decrease of blood ammonia in 21 of 22 patients. The mental and neuromuscolar abnormalities too showed a statistically important downward trend vs. the basal values. The acid-base balance did not record any remarkable variation. The AA. judge as absolutely positive the trial carried out with gamma-ethylester of glutamic acid. The large doses used caused clear-cut and dramatic improvements and were estremely well tolerated.
