5 PREFACE This volume contains the papers presented in the International Summer Course on "Cirrhosis, Hyperammonemia and Hepatic Encephalopathy," which was one of the prestigious Summer Course, of the Complutense University of Madrid held in EI Escorial, Spain, during August 10-14, Liver cirrhosis is one of the main causes of death in western countries. In addition there is a series of liver dysfunctions including fulminant hepatic failure, Reye's syndrome and congenital defects of urea cycle enzymes that could lead to hepatic encephalopathy, coma and death. As a consequence of impaired liver function, the ability to detoxify ammonia by its incorporation into urea is diminshed, resulting in increased ammonia levels in blood and brain. Hyperammonemia is considered one of the main factors in the mediation of hepatic encephalopathy and the classical clinical treatments are directed towards reducing blood ammonia levels. A part of the book is therefore devoted to the study of certain aspects of ammonia metabolism such as the regulation of the urea cycle, the main mechanism of ammonia detoxification in mammals, which is located mainly in the liver. The metabolism of ammonia in other tissues, including brain, is also presented, as well as the effects of hyperammonemia on brain metabolism and function and on brain microtubules. The control of cerebral protein breakdown is reviewed. The classical and some recently proposed clinical treatments as well as nutritional considerations in the management of patients with liver failure are also discussed. Altered neurotransmission is a key step in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy. Some recent results on the effects of hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy on synaptic transmission and on GABAergic and glutamatergic neurotransmission are presented and their possible roles in the pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy are discussed. Glutamatergic neurotransmission is altered in hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy and it has been recently proposed that acute ammonia toxicity is mediated by glutamate, which, under certain conditions, can be a potent neurotoxic for neurons containing glutamate receptors. The last part of the book is devoted to the study of the mechanisms that control the release of glutamate, the properties of the NMDA receptors, which mediate glutamate toxicity, as well as the mechanism of the protective effect of gangliosides against glutamate toxicity. In summary, the book presents an update of the knowledge on certain crucial aspects of the causes and mechanisms of hepatic encephalopathy. We would like to express our gratitude to all the participants in the Course for their written contributions and for their enlightened and fruitful discussion and to Forpax for help v
6 in preparing the camera-ready version of the chapters. Also the Complutense University of Madrid for providing the fmancial support and the facilities for the Course and to its personnel at EI Escorial for the excellent assistance and organization that allowed the fruitful development of the Course in a warm and pleasant atmosphere.
