Can patients with liver disease take Proteinex®?
Patients with liver disease can take Proteinex® during the first stage of the condition. Then, they must avoid aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan), because the ammonia contents may produce liver encephalopathy (cerebral lesion by ammonia caused in patients with liver disease). On the other hand, a patient with liver disease can use branched chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine).
