| Abstract | The liver plays a key role in the metabolism of amino acids as it removes releases and incorporates them into different proteins and compounds. Patients with liver disease show abnormalities in the plasma amino-acid profile.1‒3 In advanced liver disease there is usually an increased concentration of the aromatic amino-acids (AAA) tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan, and decreased concentration of branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) leucine, isoleucine and valine in plasma.4‒12 The methods used to investigate amino acid metabolism have varied widely i.e. basal measurements, protein challenge tests, fasting and post-absorptive period, samples obtained from peripheral or arterial blood to mention a few.3,10 |
