In medical term, it is "hyperammonemia".

chronic alcoholism can result in a cirrhotic liver/failed liver. with this comes liver dysfxn, and the liver is not able to perform its usual fxn of converting ammonia to urea in the urea cycle as well => hyperammonemia. neural dysfxn is a consequence of this accumulation of ammonia, and the the cz of what is known as "asterixis" aka the "flapping tremor."

Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disorder. Liver is responsible for excreting excess proteins (CHON) in our body. Ammonia is a by-product of protein. If liver is damaged, ammonia levels will go up and will circulate in our blood (condition called hyperammonemia). This is why patients with liver disease are restricted with protein rich foods.

Low calcium ion levels can have several negative effects on the nervous system. Calcium is essential for proper nerve conduction, and low levels can impair the ability of neurons to transmit signals effectively. This can lead to symptoms such as muscle cramps, numbness or tingling sensations, and even affect the normal functioning of the brain. Severe calcium deficiency can also result in seizures or convulsions.
