Potassium Glutamate CAS:19473-49-5 Manufacturer Supplier

Potassium glutamate is a medication for liver coma, with the same pharmacological effect as “sodium glutamate”. Used to treat hepatic encephalopathy caused by elevated blood ammonia, it is often matched with sodium glutamate in a ratio of 1:2. The view that potassium glutamate utilizes ammonia to synthesize glutamine and reduce blood ammonia, which is beneficial for the recovery of hepatic encephalopathy, has been repeatedly rejected in the past decade. It is believed that blood ammonia levels are not directly related to liver coma, and this product is no longer used as a routine treatment for liver coma.
