In the context of advanced liver disease, elevated serum ammonia is often a product of protein metabolism, or the lack of it. 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.

Rintarou, did you put it in this sensitive area in an attempt to treat genital warts? It's not supposed to be used for that purpose. That said, here's from one of the articles about the use of silver nitrate:

White potash, sometimes referred to as soluble potash, is usually higher in analysis and is used primarily for making liquid starter fertilizers.

If so, then your doctor may prescribe lactulose and Rifaxamin (aka Xifaxin) which is an antibiotic used specifically for the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy. My husband is taking both and is now stable.
Here is a link to a clinical trial comparing the use of lactulose alone or in combination with Rifaximin (Xifaxin)
Conclusion:
Combination of lactulose plus rifaximin is more effective than lactulose alone in the treatment of overt HE.

If you take a nitrate for chest pain, and there is relief the probability is good there is some blockage. EKG and echo is not a very reliable source for vessel blockage, however, the echo is quite reliable for any heart wall damage and EF. If there is ischemia, it hasn't advanced to cause any heart wall damage, and the stress test is good for identifying any blockage. The probability is high for blockage as hypertension, etc.
Some have these symptoms at stage 4 liver damage. The amonia level is another symptom. It is what causes hepatic encephalopathy (confusion, deteriation of the brain). The normal level for amonia is
Normal levels are from 0 to 40 micromol/L.
If you can have a liver biopsy that will tell you what stage of liver damage you have. They wouldn't do one on me because it was to dangerous because of bleeding.
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?
