ammonia

Avatar f tn 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?
Avatar m tn Cut out eating all red meat, red meat helps to create ammonia in people with advanced cirrhosis.
Avatar m tn Why certain types of protein are better than other for cirrhotics - When choosing animal protein, it is important to choose lean (low-fat) cuts of meat- such as fish, white meat chicken and white meat turkey. Keep in mind that even the leanest cuts of red meat are high in fat content. In fact, approximately 50 to 75 percent of calories from most red meats actually come from fat! Even a carefully trimmed cut of fine lean red meat probably derives about 50 percent of its calories from fat.
Avatar f tn A problem my friend with Hep C and i have encountered is that consumption of animal protein caused an ammonia buildup. I would wake up to the constant smell of ammonia everywhere i went. Since i am mostly vegetarian, and only break this rule with fish a few times a month, i was careful to note that the ammonia smell only occurred after eating fish. My physician tested me and found that i definitely had an ammonia buildup and i should stop eating animal protein.
Avatar f tn Lunch meat I do but the cat box is a big no no. Its for a different reason than the lunch meat so I've never heard of the coralation between the cats eating raw meat and the litter box. I thought it was due to the ammonia but I'm not 100% sure. Either way I'd avoid it as much as possible.
Avatar m tn I am taking Kristalose to relieve the build-up of ammonia in my blood due to hep-c. My doctor wants to see 4-5 bowel movements a day. He prescribed 2 - 20mg packs at breakfast, 2 at lunch and 1 at dinner. Some days I have 6-8 before dinner and since he does not want me to have more than that I will skip the dinner dose. My question is - If I have a movement the first thing the following morning - prior to taking anything - is that movement still removing ammonia 12-14 after the prior dose?
Avatar n tn Protein, and particularly meat protein produces ammonia in the colon; and while a healthy liver can manage this, a cirrhotic liver is often incapable of removing it. This results in ‘brain fog’, or hepatic encephalopathy. It can often be effectively managed with the drug ‘Lactulose’; a laxative that encourages frequent bowel movements.
Avatar m tn Ammonia and zinc levels are measured from blood samples. They must be asked for. They are not common blood test that are performed routinely. Ammonia is listed as Ammonia on my blood tests. The normal range is 7-35 UMOL/L. Since you have some blood work you may want to look at his Platelet count, INR, Bilirubin, and Creatinine. This can help give you an idea of your husband's liver ability to function. NOTE: Ammonia levels don't always correlate with HE. Or the Grade of HE.
Avatar m tn Do you eat a lot of meat and very little carbohydrates? If this ratio becomes unbalanced it can cause the ammonia smell in your sweat and bowel movements.
Avatar m tn Hello I noticed your reply to wildturkey regarding the sweat smelling perspiration. if you are eating allot of protein is this dangerous to have the ammonia smell. I do allot of cardio and frequently have this odor as I am working out. I do eat allot of protein since I am a diabetic. and carbs make my sugers sky rocket. Do you have any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I hope you know your husband should be on a low to no, salt diet and not eat any red meat. Red meat contributes to the ammonia buildup and salt ( sodium) contributes to the ascites, fluid build up. Read labels. Feed him food as fresh and freshly prepared and as organic as possible.
Avatar n tn The numbers vary from person to person. Mine were 108 when I started on lactulose a medicine that helps to take the ammonia out of the body. Are you having symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy? Are you confused?..having trouble with words?..or driving?
Avatar f tn Hello: Occassionally when having a bowel movement, I notice a very strong odor of ammonia. It reminds me of the odor at the camp outhouses. I haven't been able to figure any similarities between instances (recent eating habits, activities, etc.). We eat a round diet of meat, veggies and fruits. My bowel movements for the most part are good in regularity and consistency. The only medical condition I've had lately was with high blood pressure.
Avatar m tn In patients with advanced cirrhosis, the liver is no longer able to metabolize the ammonia and convert it to urea so the ammonia builds up the in body producing and travels to the person's brain with psychological and other effects.
Avatar n tn 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.And of course he does sleep alot.

4862546 tn?1360241703 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.
Avatar m tn Do you think the meat is why? How long has it been like this? Thanks for commenting and sharing- it helps others to know they are not alone!
Avatar f tn yes we are using lactulose, double doses. We are on a no meat diet but can't seem to find a diet for liver failure. The doctor told us fruit and vegetables, but how can I find an actual diet? We don't get to go to San Francisco until the first of the year to get him on a transplant list? Not sure what to actually feed him. Anyone have any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I seem to be sensitive to the chemicals added to the water these days. They tend to add both ammonia and chlorine now. My skin hates this. If you have any asthma, that's an even better reason to get a whole-house filter that filters out ammonia and chlorine (chloramine is the chemical that results). For the shampoo you switch to when not using Nizoral, consider Neutrogena Clean green formula.
Avatar f tn He advised me to stay away from any fat-food. He warned me not to eat any sort of meat and fish(except smoked fish). The only thing that am worry is stopping meat/fish in my meal. Pls is d doctor right by telling me not to eat fish/meat?
Avatar f tn Even now, post tx, I have to work at it - especially since a big hunk of meat on the plate now gags me. Lean red meat on occasion is OK, but best to stick to your fish, chicken and legumes for your mainstay of protein. Snacky things can include cottage cheese, peanut butter, yogurts, hummus (but watch the salt if you purchase it and the crackers too).
Avatar f tn Watch windex if u clean the windows i read last week on the bottle that it has ammonia in it, idk if its safe to be around ammonia but i didnt wanna take the chance because of how strong it is so i bought some ammonia free!
Avatar m tn They put a shunt in his liver to stop the bleeding. So far that has helped to stop the bleeding and his ammonia level went down to 48. He is still unconscious, though, and on a respirator. He also has MRSA and is running a fever. They have him in isolation. They act like he may recover from this, but it looks pretty bad to me...... To make matters worse for me, my husband has cirrhosis too. He has seemed worse off than my brother, until this just happened with my brother last week.
Avatar n tn I've noticed that from time to time, but becoming more frequent, my urine has a strong ammonia smell. The color is fairly normal - clear to golden - but the smell is there! I don't have pain or burning while urinating nor do I go to the toilet more often than usual. So what can be the cause? Thanks for any ideas.
