ammonia

Avatar f tn The vet who was talking to the couple and she went into the room where the catboxes were, and commented on the smell, and she had handheld meter that she set down on the floor. It measured ammonia in the air. OSHA has limits of something like 25 ppm for people working in industry, apparently over that amount of ammonia in the air is bad for the lungs. As they were talking, the meter went over 25, then over 40, then over 60, then I think it stopped in the 70s or 80s.
Avatar n tn Urine is high in nitrates, compounds high in nitrogen and oxygen. Ammonia is made up of nitrogen and hydrogen. (NH3) What you are smelling is the high concentration of bonded nitrogen. Normally, diluted urine doesn't have much odor. If you're dehydrated and your urine becomes highly concentrated, it can have a strong ammonia smell.

PPD is actually colourless but becomes coloured when oxidised by the release of oxygen from the second bottle.
Avatar f tn Another thing that may have happened is your vagus nerve (big nerve that connects to your brain, carotids and heart) was stimulated which may have caused your pulse to slow and blood pressure to drop, created low oxygen to the brain, and thus, the resulting vertigo and vomiting...It takes a moment for the blood pressure to recover (up to 10 minutes in healthy people) so, it may have been missed if it was low briefly...
Avatar f tn It means the ammonia in your urine mixed with the bleach and caused a chemical reaction. I'm sorry, but it's not an accurate way to test for pregnancy.
Avatar f tn The chemical reaction between bleach and urine is very dangerous and can cause 3rd degree burns if it comes in contact with your skin and it's also toxic to breathe
Avatar m tn the really bad mix which can actually cause death is when you mix clorox and ammonia together like in the toilet....i have read that the vapors of that can kill people quickly in an enclosed area but i am not sure if it was a heart related death that happens or not...man o man was that a positive post....i don't think it has to do w. sensitivity i think it is just people who may have underlying heart issues..
Avatar m tn dizziness, fatigue, confusion, disorientation, swelling in lower extremities (exercise), chills, chest pain, tingling in left arm up to neck and jaw, severe muscle cramps and spasms, nausea, sometimes vomiting, and extreme SOB. My symptoms used to only last 2hrs after exercise and now have lasting any where from 2hrs to the whole next day. Symptoms slightly getting better after L-carnitine supplements.
Avatar f tn I have developed patm since I took antibiotics, and I am taking the sibo drug now, but the reaction is severe. Even if I'm at an apartment house, there's a reaction. He coughs and sneezes far away and gets hot and itchy when he's with me. But if I eat a lot of flour food, even I cough and sneeze. I checked that there is Candida antibody, and a lot of ammonia was detected in the OAT test, but the reaction is still after taking related antibiotics and antifungal drugs.
Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and colon? and raw skin lines on each side of the scrotum between the inner thighs and pus bumps.
Avatar n tn I developed the same thing two years ago... One of many sporadic, but progressively worsening side effects. Mine was from an adverse reaction to the H1N1 vaccine (but I'm learning any vaccine, virus, or toxin can trigger dysautonomia). What I experience feels like I am going to yawn, but instead, I end up doing several (2 to 5) quick inhales, then it just all stops. It never develops into a complete, stretching-type, fulfilling yawn.
Avatar n tn I have been through the Lactulose treatments, and this is far, far better. For me it has been both more effective at controlling the ammonia and there have been virtually no side effects. I am also taking Milk Thistle supplements 3 times a day, which are supposed to help overall liver health. I went from end-stage liver disease (auto-immune hep) to nearly normal in about 6 months. At first it was very unpleasant, being on both Lactulose and Lasix.
Avatar f tn He was admitted Monday night with severe confusion. His ammonia level was 152 and WBC/RBC and hemaglobin were extremely low. Treatment was started immediately to lower the ammonia level. Wednesday was 149, yesterday was 230 and today was 190. The doctor said it isn't responding to treatment, although the medicine definitely is keeping him cleaned out. They gave him platelets last night, but the level dropped even lower today.
Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and Colin? the girl had the same smell.
Avatar m tn My liver disease also caused my serum sodium level to drop off (a condition known as Hyponatremia) and a low sodium level can produce a dementia similar to high ammonia levels but is more difficult to treat (at least in my experience).
10037378 tn?1420563810 I am 18 weeks and I just dyed my hair last night. I did with my other two pregnancies also and didn't have any problems. I found an ammonia free dye that doesn't smell horrible or have those really horrible fumes.
377412 tn?1283809646 but did anyone notice a change in vaginal odor and discharge during their pregnancy?? All the books and websites Ive been on not ONE mentioned this. And its just odd smelling (of course I have HYPERSENSITIVE nose these days too). But I just recently noticed it. And the discharge is very slight no spotting or anything to be alarmed about. But just wanted to hear what some of u much further along experienced. Ericka 8.
2015036 tn?1332997788 During that time, I thought perhaps I had them from blood level changes from rebif, and then the allergic reaction just all collided at once (that was my own theory thought, lol).
Avatar f tn I have undergone several tests as per my health checkup, and Physician has confirmed nothing seriously wrong, and advised me not to worry and continue to remain sober However, because of my minor symptoms and the ammonia level, and information on the web worries me for encephalopathy.Could you help me in: -If Encephalopathy is suspected, then also suspect is associated cirrhosis, and portal hypertension? But USG says No portal hypertension. -What could be the reason of high ammonia?
1391441 tn?1333847961 visit and was checked for ammonia level - @127. Prescription for lactulose @30 ml twice a day. Dr. said it would not affect blood sugar but I have found that 30-45 min. after taking it my blood sugar drops dramatically - 30 pts. Has anyone else experienced this and what alternatives are there to the lactulose treatment?
1008841 tn?1293598960 that is to say, some patients who have hepatic encephalopathy (HE, or confusion due to liver dysfunction) do not have elevated ammonia levels, and sometimes ammonia levels can be elevated without apparent HE -- docs usually use the guidelines Hector provided above to diagnose HE as opposed to just declaring it based on ammonia levels.
