ammonia liquid

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.

2 weeks later, he is acting like a zombie, he was admitted for high level of ammonia in his blood. He was released Sunday and 3 days later he is acting like a zombie again. He is going to the restroom somewhat normal. And drinking and eatting when forced. He is stuggling to take his meds., sometimes taking 45 min just to take the liquid meds. I am 13 hours away from my dad. Why is this happening?

Then when I go to the bathroom the next day it starts all over again. The clear liquid smells alittle like ammonia to me. I told my doctor about it and he just didn't seem concerned. I am tired of putting toilet paper in my underwear to soak up the oozing liquid. Does anyone know what this might be or what might be causing it ? Any help or ideas would be really appreciated.

Dye yes, bleach not so much... they say ammonia free dye and in a well ventilated area.

In patients with decompensated cirrhosis and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) Lactulose/Kristalose is the first line of treatment after the elimination of red meat protein from the diet, which during digestion produces high levels of ammonia and other toxins. Kristalose can be mixed in plain water and has almost no flavor. Mix it in juices and you will never taste it. Kristalose is manufactured by Cumberland Pharmaceuticals Inc., Nashville, TN.

When I got out of bed this morning I had a gush of clear liquid..that made me feel like I wet my pants .. I have not noticed a mucus plug falling out or anything ..

My husband's ammonia level is @ 68; 2 weeks ago was @ 60. He is currently taking Lactulose 15 ml twice a day; 2 weeks ago he was lethargic, confused and had extremely poor coordination, was diagnosed with hepatic encephalopathy. He has dramatically improved but his ammonia level continues to rise. He was advised to increase the lactulose to 30 ml twice a day for 5 days and then resume back to 15 ml twice a day. Is there any other medication for elevated ammonia?

at the same time it would itch inside my vagina, I also had an ammonia smell every morning I wake up to pee but doing the day it has a normal smell. Can anyone tell me what could it be?

The condition that happens when ammonia levels get too high. His doctor prescribed Lactulose. The liquid medication that does indeed increase the need for the bathroom. He is taking 3T. three times a day. In the beginning he would find himself rushing off the bathroom pretty frequently. Once the meds became established in his system (a month or so seems to be my recollection of how long it took) he now has 3-4 soft BM's a day and no longer feels chained to the bathroom.

* Lactulose (a prescription liquid laxative that binds with ammonia and removes it from the body) * Avoid alcohol, get an approval on any drugs (even over-the-counter medications or supplements) * Have bloodtests done on a regular basis (to monitor electrolytes, CBC, etc.

This as you have likely been told is progressive. The ammonia levels are usually partially controlled with lactulose which is a liquid laxative that helps to asorbs ammonia in the GI system and aids with keeping the bowel cleaned out. It is generally given three times per day and dose is adjusted according to individual response. The lack of energy and decreased awake times can be attributed to several factors. One hemoglobin is very low this carries oxygen to all the organs.

So I'm 29 weeks and I keep feeling like I've been peeing myself. But when I look at my panties, its just a clear yellowish liquid. Is this normal or supposed to happen? I'm kinda worried...

Hey you guys. I hope someone can answer my question. So about the end of June (the 30th) I engaged in receptive anal sex with a guy. Except we didn't even finish. Well, he didn't finish in me. I finished whIle he unfortunately was being much too rough. Also I didn't clean out, at all, beforehand. Now fast forward to now, I'm constipated, had this yellow, ammonia-smelling liquid come out of my butt and am having some urinary and ejaculatory problems.

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I work in a paint department. I mix colors and clean up paint pretty much. Since I've worked there we have always used glass cleaner to clean the paint off the desk and our hands. I didnt know this until today but the cleaner we use has ammonia in it. I've been using it every day for a few months to get the paint off of my hands. Could it have hurt my baby?

We discovered that my husband had an episode of Encephalopathy, which is high ammonia in the blood. But by the time we had his blood checked his levels were right smack in the middle of the range. Doctor said he was fine. So my question is can this ammonia gone untreated continue to rise and lower on its own. Because he has days that he seems fine and then days when he is not with me completely. He does not eat much as his taste buds are totally out of wack. Most foods taste very salty.

I recently found out I had high ammonia, it was 66, I am taking lactalose and it is is now normal. All my blood work is within normal ranges on my liver function test and I also had a sonogram, have a mild fatty liver. Was wondering what could have caused this. I do drink a few beers a night.

The medicine, lactulose, is a non-digestible liquid that binds the ammonia and it drops out of the body with the feces. Also if he has cirrhosis, he needs to have his salt intake restricted. Read all labels and avoid anything with sodium. Good luck going forward.

I am so sorry to hear about you and your fathers situation. There is no way to predict how long he can carry on with late stage liver disease and cirrhosis. There are many consequences of having cirrhosis and continuing to drink other than hepatic encephalopathy (HE). Often patients develop ascities or fluid retention in the abdomen which can develop to the point the look pregnant and will need this fluid drained.

Patients with liver disease are unable to process or detoxify ammonia so that ammonia levels can reach dangerously high levels. This is coupled by increased ammonia production of colonic bacteria, especially if one is constipated or has an irregular bowel movement. High protein intake can also lead to an incresed ammonia production. I suggest you talk about these possibilities with your doctors.

I am assuming you have cirrhosis? (I have a list of cirrhotics but I know it doesn't include everyone with cirrhosis here). Hepatic encephalopathy (HE) and brain fog are two different conditions. "Brain fog" has nothing to do with ammonia levels. Most ammonia in the body forms when protein is broken down by bacteria in the intestines. The liver normally converts ammonia into urea, which is then eliminated in urine.

Ammonia odor can be associated with H. pylori. Ammonia can also be associated with urine and fecal material and not due to H. pylori.

Yes it does. High levels of ammonia cause hepatic encephalopathy which in turn can cause confusion, sleepiness and forgetfulness. There are medications to help lower those levels. Speak to your hep doc.

Please can some one tell me why does my urine smell like ammonia its so strong i am embarrassed i need pads galore to change for i urine at time some lilte small quantity here and there like when i laugh or get up or move fast??i am diabetic type 2 .i have lots of chronic,s illness ?i told me Doctor and she said it was because i did not drank enough maybe ?But i am drinking a lot and more since i was told that it could the reason that my urine smell like ammonia.

I'd like to know if you might know about Ammonia Levels in liver cirrhosis patients. I have been doing some of my own research on this and have possibly come up with some help. I do see a GI doctor who says he's a liver specialist but I think he could help me more. I ask questions and don't get results or any positive answers.
