Predictive value of arterial ammonia for complications and outcome in acute liver failure.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Hereditary pancreatitis (HP) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder with variable expression and an overall lifetime penetrance of 80%. We hypothesised that (1) monozygotic twins within similar environments would develop the typical signs of HP at a similar age, and (2) if penetrance were due to modifier gene...
