Common Questions and Answers about Ammonia health hazards
ammonia
My 88 year old father has a very very strong ammonia smell to his urine. We know he has kidney stone (that can't be remove due to health issues). I hate to take him to the doctor's for nothing, but could this be an infection?
dont worry at all
Recent study approved that expired medication dont cause any health hazards in 98.
My father was diagnosed with end-stage liver disease, cirrhosis, and hepatic encephalopathy about 5 years ago. He was pretty stable until last Christmas, and his health has seriously declined since then. We are having a really hard time keeping his ammonia levels under control, despite following his liver doctor's orders to the letter.
It probably has nothing to do with the gender of your baby, but if the bleach foams and fizzles it could mean there is a larger than normal amount of ammonia in your urine. This could indicate a health problem, or it could simply mean that you are dehydrated. It is also possible that, if the concentration of ammonia is high enough, chlorine gas will form.
This type of information seems like it would be better suited for a health page. You should create a health page with this information so that it's always available. The members in Baby Products would probably also benefit from this.
Try creating a health page. If you're unsure of how to do it, I believe joyrenee knows how to do it.
I’m sorry to hear of your husband’s troubles. Is he currently taking Lactulose or anything to manage ammonia production? The Lactulose will be the sticky-sweet liquid that gives him the runs? He may need to have that adjusted, or possibly have another drug added to that regimen.
I was taking Nature Throid but discontinued because of a weird side effect- strong ammonia-smelling sweat while exercising. Has anyone heard of that before? I was concerned about my kidneys... And had to wash exercise clothes several time to get rid of the smell. What would cause this?
In my area, indoor smoking is not allowed in or near any business or commercial establishment, and many residential households have the practice of smokers may only smoke outdoors so they do not risk causing major health hazards to other occupants.
You could use a HEPA air filtration machine in your bedroom to greatly cut down airborne dust while you're sleeping.
There is no research found that dying your hair while pregnant causes harm to the fetus. I dyed my hair with ammonia free hair dye and my son is completely fine. My best friend dyed her hair for her wedding photos while pregnant and her daughter is now 6 months and completely fine. It is safe.
While you are willing to offer her a part of your liver it would be unethical for them to put you at great risk for your own health when your mother is in poor health and may not survive.
The episode you mom had is likely hepatic encephalopathy it is a symptom of advanced liver disease. It is related to her elevated ammonia test result. I assume she is taking lactulose which causes bowel movement but also help to reduce ammonia leveled in her blood.
this could be an allergy, does the child cough all day /night? Are any sprays or hazards within range to breathing them in.How is his health in general, is he/she a happy child .
If you have AIH and ammonia build-up, you should be avoiding all protein, and you will be prescribed Lactulose or a similar drug to rid your body of ammonia. The ammonia isn't "in your brain", but it will cause brain dysfunction, confusion. It is essential for people with liver-related ammonia build-up to remove all protein. If this truly is your problem, your doctor should be explaining this. Please discuss this with him or her.
I smell ammonia. No one else can smell it. This happens off and on and in many different locations. I have read that this happens to people after a weight training session but I don't work out. It has happened when I was just sitting reading a book. I have seen my GP secondary to ill feeling for a year. The only abnormal labs are slightly elevated sed rate and slightly elevated WBC. I have muscle pain and weakness and extreme fatigue. My Doctor says he has no idea what is wrong with me.
Since then I had my first experience with a high ammonia level of 98 in 2014 which put me in the hospital, almost in a coma state, for 5 days. Lactulose, Lasix & Spirolactone were given. After being released, it took a week when I returned to the hospital, now I was put on Xifaxan along with the other three meds. All has been well until Feb. 14, 2016 when it hit me again, ammonia level of 250, survived.
Most ammonia is produced in the intestine by colonic breakdown of nitrogenous compounds and enterocytic catabolism of amino acids. Other sources of ammonia are the kidneys and skeletal muscle. Normally, ammonia is metabolized in the liver and promptly excreted through the kidneys or colon. Formation of glutamine from glutamate, by glutamine synthetase, in the liver and brain is another means of detoxifying ammonia.
I have 57 ammonia level in July and in August 97 ammonia level. Took Lactulose and two weeks later had 101 and added the antibiotic effixir (sp) just last week.
Will this be chronis? Is there hope to get it down and keep it down?
The test showed a slightly enlarged liver.
Could this be caused from spreading fertilizer, coloring my hair and spraying poision?
I cut out the protein except for fish, eggs and a few other things. Driking lots more water to flush my system. Any other suggestions.
