Potassium Glutamate for Injection

Function and Efficacy

When liver function is severely damaged, ammonia metabolism in the body is disordered, leading to hepatic coma. After intravenous infusion, this product can combine with excess ammonia in the blood to form non-toxic glutamine, which dissociates ammonia through the action of glutaminase in the kidneys and is excreted in the urine, thus alleviating the symptoms of hepatic coma. This product also participates in brain protein metabolism and sugar metabolism, promotes the oxidation process, and improves the function of the central nervous system.
