Hello,
Welcome to Health Care Magic. I read carefully your query and I understand your concern.
The treatment for cirrhosis with increased ammonia level include medication e.g. Lactulos that decrease the absorption of ammonia and also dietary change, that include the use of vegetable protein instead of animal protein, it is consider add probiotic treatment that have the same effect, decreasing the ammonium level.
The changes in diet that you should do to your mother to improve the survival are also, a sodium restrict diet, a low fat diet and adding antioxidant nutrients e.g. Vitamin E, Zink and adding also Folate and Vitamin B6.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
