Avatar f tn Could the potassium nitrate in toothpaste for sensitive teeth be enough to cause palpitations? I have used it for quite a while and ran out about a month ago. When I bought toothpaste got regular by mistake and used the whole tube. During this time my palps were the best they have been in a LONG time. Hardly even noticed anything. Ran out of toothpaste, bought the sensitive stuff and after about a week I'm flipping and flopping all over the place again.
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.
1008841 tn?1293598960 What test do they do to test for to test for ammonia. I was just looking through the test that they have given me and I can't find one that says anything about ammonia. They do give me lactolose to try to prevent that, but I just wondered what the test is called. My albumin was a little low so was my sodium, and calcium, on my last test. They do give me propranolol, now, for my varices. They also give a bunch of dieritics. We'll 40mg furosemide and 100mg spironolacton.
Avatar n tn My liver biopsy showed a 2 but a blood ammonia test was over 190 so my gastro want me to start the treatment as soon as possible. I also have Ankylosing Spondylitis a form of arthritis. I have probably had Hep for 30 years or more diagnosed in 04. 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.
1475202 tn?1536270977 Since not all persons with cirrhosis are affected by elevated ammonia levels what’s the point in the test? Some persons are greatly affected with slightly elevated ammonia levels while others with experience no symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy with high ammonia levels or vice versa. Seeming that the test is irrelevant or at least this is the way of thinking by my hepatologist during my most recent visit to the transplant center in my area. So why do we even talk about it?
Avatar n tn I went to the doctor and he assigned me a blood test to test my ammoneia count. When i got the results it was over 200. After that it went down but just recently i've been experiencing the exact same symptoms. I also just had the flu so i was drinking alot of water to flush the virus out of my system, anybody know what i can do to lower my amoneia count, until i see the doctor next?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar m tn Since that time I have continued to have chest pains and shortness of breath issues. I had a PET stress test which showed an area of my heart was not recieving increased blood or oxygen during stress.
Avatar n tn It can be more useful after several tests have been run. An ammonia test also does not have the ability to detect other toxins which may be contributing to, or could even be the sole cause of any encephalopathy in a patient. What did your doctor say about it ?
Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and colon? and raw skin lines on each side of the scrotum between the inner thighs and pus bumps.

Avatar m tn Yesterday I applied silver nitrate to some tiny bumps on the base of the shaft of my penis- my best guess as to what they are is either genital warts or hair follicles that were bigger than my liking so I decided to chemically burn them off with silver nitrate. I applied silver nitrate and put the sticky part of a bandaid over it and left it for 24 hrs, when removed the top layer skin shed and the bumps are still present though now smaller and raw.
Avatar m tn It sounds like you need more carbs, less protein and more water in your diet. Can you say what your diet is like? 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.
190885 tn?1333025891 Hey dog, sorry about your difficulty but I gotta ask you something. Why would you test your ammonia level if you're not cirrhotic? Just wondering really, never heard of anyone testing their level before unless they had to. good luck!
Avatar m tn Aim playing racket ball three times a week for well 2-3 hours. I notice this ammonia smell with my sweat.Now I always sweat heavy when I work out. But this ammonia smell new. Other than this smell aim fine losing some weight.
Avatar f tn High concentrations are really dangerous, but low concentrations could be tolerated by other humans. You can have a blood test to check the levels of ammonia in your blood, but I’ve not got round to investigating it yet. I’m convinced it’s a gas or a toxin linked to one of our bio-chemical body reactions. One day it will all make sense.
Avatar m tn Also, when she has her labs drawn be sure the lab tech always puts the green topped tube (the one used to test ammonia level) on ice immediately or the results could be falsely elevated. It happened to me once and my dr almost had a heart attack. Good Luck to your mom.
Avatar f tn Renexa is a nitrate and should relieve your chest pain and that would indicate the chest pain is due to a heart condition. However, a heart issue could be concomitant with another condition that causes chest pains, and you should contact your doctor for the chest pain and feeling of weakness. I take a nitrate (isosorbide) for chest pain (angina) and that controls any angina I would have without the medication. Hope this helps, and thanks for the question.
Avatar f tn Have any of you mommies had to have silver nitrate put onto the remainder of your baby's umbilical cord stump? And if so how long did it take to fall off?
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 f tn When there is a urinary tract infection the wbcs, release leucocyte esterase. Most of the time the nitrate test will also be positive and this really indicates you have a UTI or upper urinary tract infection. Since your nitrate was negative then can you tell me if when you collected the urine sample were you on your period or had a heavy mucus discharge as well as Trichomoas infections will all cause a fause positive result for leucocyte esterase.
