Patients with ALF and persistent arterial hyperammonemia for 3 days after admission are more likely to develop complications and have greater mortality than patients with decreasing levels or high baseline levels. Infection, renal failure, and decreased arterial pH are independent predictors of persistent hyperammonemia.
