How is ammonia gas produced

Common Questions and Answers about How is ammonia gas produced

ammonia

Avatar f tn There are some bacteria in the gut that produce hydrogen sulfide gas. Sometimes this gas is produced in such huge quantities that the sulfide oxidase enzyme in the wall of the gut is not able to oxidize all of it and convert it to thiosulfate. Hence the gas enters the blood stream and gets filtered by kidney into the urine. This gas has a smell of rotten eggs. You can test its presence by test strips available OTC.
Avatar m tn The smell of urine in the toilet is the smell of ammonia. Therefore, the urine odor of PATM patients is produced by Proteus. In addition, proteus produces indole and hydrogen sulfide in our intestines. Indole is another name for faecal odor. The reason why feces stink is because of the high concentration of indole in feces. The fecal odor of PATM patients is produced by Proteus. What’s more, proteus can also produce hydrogen sulfide.
Avatar f tn 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. If it starts to give off a strong odour and your eyes are burning, flush it and open a window or turn on the ventilation fan immediately, then get out of the room. Chlorine gas is highly toxic.
Avatar f tn The radiation that comes from the sun is electromagnetic energy. Gas is not radiation but just airborne molecules. Electromagnetic energy is different from Matter so have different properties. Most people know this. This idea has been brought up again and again despite all the evidence in this universe is against it so I’m curious whether you’re trolling or not? If you’re honest about not understanding the difference, then I can continue to discuss.
1134500 tn?1260875857 after reaserch on my machine i was exposed to ammonia gas given off from sodium nitrate in the water,the ph level was 12 when i found out after ph of 7 ammonia gas is given off,i was not protected by any ppe.the question was can this chemical cause my cluster headaches,as i know ammonia can trigger them off but dont know about causing them...thanks glen.
Avatar f tn I have heard of this and it isn't safe at all nor remotely accurate. Urine has ammonia in it and when ammonia and bleach mix it releases a very toxic gas, and almost always when urine hits bleach it will fiz or foam that's what creates the gas. I had a friend who tried this once in high school, (just for fun, she wasn't pregnant nor did she want to be) and she ended up in the hospital from the gas it created. Sorry didn't mean to scare you just stating the facts.
Avatar n tn Now, my understanding was that all T3 (bound and unbound) is produced from Free T4. Well, you can see that my Free T4 is 1.41 ng/dL, and that my Total T3 (bound and unbound) is 106 ng/dL. Obviously, the amount of Total T3 is far greater than the amount of Free T4. So, is all T3 (bound and unbound) produced from Free T4? Or is there another source of T3? Thank you for any info.
Avatar f tn When the liver is struggling it can’t convert protein properly and it ends up as ammonia that passes out into the blood stream and makes our body toxic. Ammonia is an irritant that causes dry throats, coughing, sneezing etc. This theory ties up with people who have stopped eating protein and moved to a plant based diet, giving up alcohol which damages the liver, and more recently someone saying tamarind had helped them. Just a thought that this could be worth further investigation.
Avatar n tn When we do not use condoms, I smell for days like his semen, even after a shower or two. Is it normal to smell this strong like ammonia? Is there anything that can help? He is overweight, does that matter? Please, doctors, I need an answer.
Avatar m tn Another idea is trying to figure out the gas that is being produced. If anyone had access to a gas lab would help, but also there are meters out there that measure all kinds of noxious/toxic gasses in the environment and I came across one called Tiger-something, that tests for a list of organic and other gasses in the environment. It costs an arm and a leg, but I saw it could be rented, so I am very seriously thinking about. :) I'll post a link later on.
Avatar n tn It will depend on your ammonia levels which a blood test will reveal. You need to get to 3 good bowel movememnts a day to keep blood ammonia down, which is the largest cause of brain fog. If you treat for hep C with SOC you should also see a drop in this problem as your liver returns to normal function and enymes levels. The lactulose does work, but I prefer a good diet because the lactulose or Inulin both way make everyone very gas laden a bloated.....toot toot. .
Avatar f tn As far as the way you smell goes, I think it depends on what you eat. The more sugar or caffeine I consume the worse I effect other people. Like I said earlier, I'm not a doctor, and my kidneys are fine as well. But I have smelled an ammonia like smell coming off of myself and I've seen how others react to it, coughing and itching. I don't know the how's or why's, but this is one symptom of our condition. Of that, I am sure.
Avatar n tn My computer is acting up! lol! Plus something else came up. Let's start over. It's a delicate situation. When protein (mainly animal protein from diet) is broken down in the body by intestinal bacteria, in the process, there's ammonia produced, that his liver does not process, thus getting into the blood circulation and causing all sorts of complications. One of them is ammonia toxicity in the brain.
Avatar n tn Urine has ammonia in it. Ammonia mixed with bleach makes a VERY toxic gas.
Avatar m tn But this is simply a consequence of violations in the system of detoxification of the body. Not gas is the cause of PATM, its concentration is increased compared to healthy people, but too insignificant to cause allergies. However, this explains the smell of gas, chemicals and feces in some people with PATM. For the metabolism of scatol (smell of feces), toluene and benzene, the enzyme CYP2E1 is responsible. It's my opinion.
Avatar n tn There is more than one variety, and a specialist is needed to determine the specific type. Generally ammonia will destroy this kind of mold. I know people recommend other liquids, but ammonia is the way to go. Before using the ammonia the room should be "dewatered" with use of one of more dehumidifiers. These molds like moist places.
Avatar f tn I heard it was the ammonia in windex so as long as u get the ammonia free u should be ok but id talk to my dr first
Avatar f tn This makes the most sense to me, but how do we find out where to get our breath tested for toluene, and find out which BACTERIA is the culprit and how to eradicate it???
Avatar f tn Another symptom the article gave was an ammonia smell in the nose. Someone commented once that they smelled ammonia. I truly believe this is the cause of my problems. Another thing that surprised me is that I remember taking pepto bismuth and it would make some difference. I read that pepto bismuth, activated charcoal and gas x are all good . I think I will follow a low sulphur diet and see if it helps. Joint pain is also a symptom which I do have and doctors has said it is not arthritis.
Avatar m tn 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.
Avatar f tn Today I hurt so badly from pressure and the right side of abdomen is hard from middle to side. I know a lot of this is gas and there is probably hard stool blocking the way...Ive been trying to drinks more fluids and eat less meat. I just tried a different type of suppository and am hoping this will be effective even if only a little to relieve this pressure in the right side of my abdomen. Is it time to see a doctor or is there something else I can try?
Avatar m tn 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. The most accurate way to diagnose HE is based on behavior changes.
Avatar f tn here is a update ...the lab called up for ammonia results, saying a repeat measurement of the same sample gave ammonia count of 25 and not 135! Have to go to a repeat test tommorow. I presume that will change the picture!
7891785 tn?1397532007 Mysteriousbundleofjoy ammonia is only is cat urine, not fecal matter... Also it is not airborne and as long as you are in a ventilated area (so you don't get light headed) and you wash your hands afterwards or wear gloves you will be fine. The real worry is toxoplasmosis which can be in fecal matter (its not present in all cats especially if they are strictly indoors) however its wisest to be safe.
