Encephalopathy Due to Urea Cycle Disorder Post Gastric Bypass Surgery |Biomedgrid

Obesity is implicated in multiple comorbidities. Moreover, obesity is on the high rise in most of the developed countries due to change of lifestyle and diet habits. Hyper-ammonia causing encephalopathy is rarely seen post-bariatric surgery. We report a 44 years old female with encephalopathy of non-hepatic origin post gastric bypass surgery. This condition was managed successfully with lactulose and low protein diet.
