Article Synopsis
- Splenorenal shunts can lead to increased portal pressure and cause hyperammonemia, contributing to hepatic encephalopathy.
- Recent studies suggest that oxaliplatin, a chemotherapy drug for colorectal cancer, may induce splenorenal shunts due to liver damage.
- A case study of a 72-year-old man showed hyperammonemia following oxaliplatin treatment, leading to successful treatment with a procedure called BRTO and no recurrence of issues after 14 months.
