Being the hospital is no fun. My meld score was not very high initially but the secondary issues were tough to deal with. At one point, my amonia level was up to 400 and my doctors were shocked i was coherent. Goes to show how different our bodies react.

Hope to hear hear that you are doing better, perhaps even with a new liver.

I had ammonia level of 90 when I had HE and complete amnesia....very scary! It sounds funny now but it wasn't then. When the ambulance came the paramedic asked me who the president was and I said Forrest Gump 🙂

@amyintucson I have never heard of such high ammonia levels! I think my highest was around 200. At that level I was very confused and irrational.
