ammonia toxicity symptoms

According to what you posted, he was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome - which is a genetic disorder. There is no cure. From the symptoms you describe, that seems to fit. Other than physical therapy and other care that is similar, I don't really have any other ideas.

she has continued to take the Lactolose for the past two weeks but today her ammonia level is 150. I would like to find out how high ammonia level can go before it is considered toxic and will cause her to go into a coma? I am also wondering in end stage cirrhosis will the lactolose eventually be uneffective in bringing down the ammonia levels? My final question is what kind of life expectancy is there when the cirrohsis remains at that level?

The premise of most pathophysiologic theories involves the accumulation of ammonia in the central nervous system, producing alterations of neurotransmission that affect consciousness and behavior. These ammonia toxicity theories have been supported by studies demonstrating increased ammonia levels in patients with both fulminant hepatic failure and chronic liver disease.

In terms of diet, I believe you should be avoiding as much salt as possible, and at least for the short term, reduce animal proteins to avoid complications of ammonia toxicity. Try to limit your protein intake to things like legumes and soy products; they are less likely to metabolize into ammonia in your gut. Protein is an important component of your diet though; be sure to confirm any info you gather here with your doctor.

There used to be a doctor who came on her who said the following, I found this and since my ammonia was elevated and I was having slight symptoms. I thought it would be a good idea, my doctor agreed however he did not bring it up, I did.

The few available resources which list common symptoms for B6 toxicity mention a feeling of pins and needles in hands and feet. There seem to be many other symptoms. Please, list the symptoms that you have.

I have been doing a lot of research on the web, especially on the ammonia test, and read the symptoms for a level that high which would indicate a pretty bad liver function are a lot of fatigue, memory loss, confusion etc. I have no symptoms I have noticed. I guess my question is can this insidious disease progress this fast when it took this long to show up? I do not drink and have not for 20 years or more. Is this ammonia level just freaking me out or is it really high?

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.

- right foot feels tingly and there is a strange nerve sensation on the outside of my right leg. - sometimes sciatica like pain on right side - right hand feels tingly and a bit stiff - right forearm feels as if there is a plastic wrap around it and tingling/pain in elbow - neck, shoulder, back pain on right side.

I was started on seizure meds because of the presentation of symptoms. Is it possible to have residual affects? Can your liver function tests be in a normal range and you still experience these symptoms? I have also been diagnosed with systemic lupus, and I have started having migraines.

When I was on them, I felt better and functioned better, but had horrible insomnia and euphoria. Since I have been off of the steroids, the symptoms I have had off and on for the past 3 months have come back with a vengence - ocular migraine at times, blurred vision, dizziness, ataxia, weakness arms and legs, constantly dropping things, mixing up names, mixing up numbers, can't get the right words out of my mouth, and a frequent rash on my face.

Just to add, magnesium toxicity are quite similar to magnesium deficiency symptoms but my symptoms of magnesium deficiency included constipation and high blood pressure.

Most of the ppl who I have run across who are really bad with these symptoms are stage 4 cirrhosis or ESLD. What is your current HepC status? Do you know, or are you starting to have obvious symptoms? I suggest you find a good Heptologist to talk to about your options.

I know there are sites that give you symptoms of chirrosis but can someone who has it tell what they have experienced.

Monitoring of food consumption, gain in body weight and physical observations did not reveal any treatment-related toxicity in any of the group of rats. Terminal autopsy also did not reveal any signs of toxicity. Further, no significant alterations in relative organ weight, serum biochemistry and urinalysis were observed up to 1% lactulose supplementation level. The results suggest that supplementation of lactulose in the diet does not produce any toxicity at the doses tested.

Those symptoms also fall under, mercury toxicity, aspartame toxicity, chemical sensitivity, and sensitivity to electro magnetic fields just think these should be mentioned as well

Hi Isobella, Decompensated cirrhosis can lead to elevated serum ammonia, which in turn can cause hepatic encephalopathy. Ammonia normally develops in the gut, but when the liver loses it’s synthetic capability, it is unable to metabolize any longer. Does that help any? http://janis7hepc.com/cirrhosis22.

Lower back! "distinguish the stenosis symptoms from the B6 toxicity symptoms" Vitamin B-6 is needed for maintaining healthy nerves and muscle cells, and aids in the production of DNA and RNA. Too much synthetic pyridoxine, however, can irritate nerves and create symptoms.

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?

Anyone have elevated ammonia levels? Are you having any symptoms and at what level did your symptoms start? I just had my first ammonia screening done and the level came back 119, with less than 47 being the reference range. I'm not having any symptoms. This seems to be the story of my life. All of my labs are going whacky and I'm still feeling fine. I'm afraid one of these days it's all going to hit and I'll be a mess.
