2. hyperammonaemia syndrome
“The pathologists, EE the gastric bypass consultant who performed the surgery on Mrs [name redacted]) and (the consuitant intensivist who treated her in hospital) confirmed that hyperammonaemia syndrome has been identified as an adverse consequence of gastric bypass surgery.”
3. lack of knowledge about hyperammonaemia syndrome
