Why does valproic acid cause elevated ammonia? Ah, serum ammonia. A lab that is often sent and often a head-scratcher. Sometimes an altered patient with cirrhosis and the most textbook asterixis will have a normal serum ammonia. And other times a patient has a sky-high ammonia and you have no idea why. Have you ever stopped and checked if they re on valproic acid?
