Therefore, it is necessary to estimate the serum ammonia level in every preterm newborn infant, who develops the signs of respiratorydistress syndrome in the first hours of life, along with the symptoms of hyperammonemia (lethargy, hypotonia, seizures[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although the etiology is unconfirmed, transient hyperammonemia is known to be caused by increased levels of ammonia in the blood stream, as well as a failure of the urea cycle to convert enough of the ammonia into urea.[en.wikipedia.org]
Transient hyperammonemia of the newborn Since the etiology is unconfirmed, diagnosis is generally accomplished when there is hyperammonemia present within 24–36 hours of birth and urea cycle defects can be excluded.[wordsimilarity.com]
Etiology of Urea Cycle Defects Urea cycle defects result from a deficiency or total absence of the activity of any of the enzymes along the pathway, particularly carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (CPSI), ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC), arginosuccinate[pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]

The pathophysiology of hyperammonemia is that of a CNS toxin that causes irritability, somnolence, vomiting, cerebral edema, and coma that leads to death.[emedicine.medscape.com]
The pathophysiology for this disorder is mostly unknown but there have been a few propositions for its origin. One study suggested that a transient platelet activation of the infant's portal system is responsible for this hyperammonemia.[en.wikipedia.org]

Some of these disorders are potentially reversible; others are amenable to long-term therapy if early diagnosis and aggressive management in the neonatal period can prevent the catastrophic neurologic deterioration that accompanies massive hyperammonemia[pedsinreview.aappublications.org]
Rapidity of Toxin removal (ammonia) is important in preventing mortality. Most relevant indicator for prognosis is coma duration before the start of dialysis (6).It is not associated with short-term or long-term neurologic deficits (7).[ispub.com]
