In each group the ammonia level rose slightly, but not to heights producing encephalopathy. The rise was greater and the return to normal slower in the patients with portal-systemic anastomoses. It is suggested that a': slow, continuous intravenous infusion of human albumin is a safe measure of raising the low colloid osmotic pressure due to hypoalbuminremia in chronic liver disease, and its use in the treatment of a patient with hepatic coma and anasarca is described briefly.
