The authors study the Monge-Ampére equation \[ \det D^2u= b(x)f(u) \] in a smooth, strictly convex, bounded domain \(\Omega\) in \(\mathbb R^N\), \(N\geq 2\), with the boundary condition \[ \lim_{x\to \partial \Omega} u(x)=\infty, \] where \(f\in C[0,\infty)\cap C^\infty(0,\infty)\) is positive, increasing and such that \(f(0)=0\), and \(b\in C^{\infty}(\bar\Omega)\) is positive in \(\Omega\). Existence of a strictly convex blow-up solution in \(C^\infty(\Omega)\) is guaranteed if there exists a positive and non-decreasing function \(f_0\) on \([0,\infty)\) such that \(f_0(u)\leq f(u)\) for every \(u>0\), \(f_0^{1/N}\) is locally Lipschitz continuous on \([0,\infty)\) and satisfies the Keller-Osserman condition, and, finally, \(f_0^{-1/N}\) is convex in \((0,\infty)\). In particular, this generalizes the result by \textit{A. C. Lazer} and \textit{P. J. McKenna} [J. Math. Anal. Appl. 197, No.~2, 341--362 (1996; Zbl 0856.35042)] where existence was proven if \(f(u)=u^q\) with \(q>N\). Moreover the authors provide asymptotic estimates of the behaviour of such solutions near \(\partial \Omega\) and prove uniqueness when the variation of \(f\) at \(\infty\) is regular of index \(q>N\).
