Avatar f tn some medications can... but the most common cause of foul smelling urine is an infection in your urinary tract. See a doctor and get your urine tested.
Avatar n tn 5 and 275 pounds. His sweat has began smelling like STRONG ammonia. It is sickening to me. I read where this could be a problem with the liver. Should he talk to the doctor about having a liver test. Is this drug broken down through the liver?
Avatar f tn When I do any cardiovascular exercise and start to get winded, I get a very strong ammonia like smell in my nose, like it is coming out of my lungs. This smell is not coming from outside my body, but internally. It's almost like the alcohol smell that goes up the back of your nose when you drink a shot of liquor. I have had this all my life and just sort of assumed it was the same for everybody, but apparently other people don't have the same thing. What could be causing it?
Avatar f tn Bacteria that contaminate the urine will convert chemicals in the urine into smelling chemicals that are responsible for the distinctive smell, such as ammonia. You can give his urine sample for testing. With a kidney stone chances of infection are high. Some foods like proteins cause the excretion of nitrogen compounds (ammonia and urea). Hence these foods can be reduced in diet. Hope these tips help. If symptoms persist consult an urologist.
Avatar f tn I was taking Nature Throid but discontinued because of a weird side effect- strong ammonia-smelling sweat while exercising. Has anyone heard of that before? I was concerned about my kidneys... And had to wash exercise clothes several time to get rid of the smell. What would cause this?
Avatar f tn and thats her way of telling you that she loves you very very much! and the ammonia smelling pee yes it will dye down but there will still be an ammonia smell!!
Avatar m tn Since then I had my first experience with a high ammonia level of 98 in 2014 which put me in the hospital, almost in a coma state, for 5 days. Lactulose, Lasix & Spirolactone were given. After being released, it took a week when I returned to the hospital, now I was put on Xifaxan along with the other three meds. All has been well until Feb. 14, 2016 when it hit me again, ammonia level of 250, survived.

Avatar n tn Dear Sir, I'm not sure if this is the best forum, but it seems the closest fit. I'm a 30 year old British guy, 5'11", 175lbs. At the moment I'm working overseas, and likely to be doing so for at least the next 6 months. For a few weeks now I've been noticing wafts of what I can only describe as the smell of Ammonia. I cant be sure where the smell is coming from - it's quite obvious if I breath in really deep through my nose a few times.
12773 tn?1328913186 but sent it off anyway, and will get back to me, one thing I didnt mention to her was the smell of Ammonia I had started smelling the day before. Its not on my skin, or anything, I do bathe everyday and use soap. But just in my nose. I have been a bit snuffy and hoarse the past few days, as a sick co worker refuses to cover her mouth. , but doc says there is alot of that going around.
Avatar f tn Urinary bladder infection and kidney infections do produce strong smelling urine. Another reason is dehydration. Strong ammonia smell is due to protein breakdown. Please discuss this with your doctor. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar f tn Usually the odor from a UTI is described as like ammonia. Glad your daughter is OK. My daughter and I have history of UTI's too.

Avatar f tn I am also wondering in advanced cirrohsis 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 reaches the level that she is at?
Avatar n tn It would be a good idea for you to drive him as he is a hazard to other people not only himself, I dont know about smelling ammonia but I wondered if he eats before he goes out as it could be low blood suger or even diabetes he should have a sugar test done, does he take any meds as sometimes there are side effects, any anti histimines that are not non-drowsy? If he passes out he definatly should go back to the Doctor and tell him and DO NOT let him drive ...

Avatar f tn Well monitor yourself if u have contractions bc u said u were in pain my waternever broke but 24 weeks Iis way to early for your baby to come
Avatar f tn 2 weeks later, he is acting like a zombie, he was admitted for high level of ammonia in his blood. He was released Sunday and 3 days later he is acting like a zombie again. He is going to the restroom somewhat normal. And drinking and eatting when forced. He is stuggling to take his meds., sometimes taking 45 min just to take the liquid meds. I am 13 hours away from my dad. Why is this happening?
Avatar n tn I thought I was the only one who experienced that! In my case, it turned out to be sinus issues. I never put it together because I didn't have sinus headaches or drainage until days or weeks after noticing the ammonia-like odors in places they shouldn't be present. It was actually my allergy doc who figured it out. As long as I keep the allergies under control with claritin or zyrtec, so they don't develop into a sinus infection, I don't smell odd things any longer.
Avatar n tn At first, i notice it smells bad when i get in to the bathroom, and i can smell it even i am in the kitchen or anywhere in our house. He said he did not feel any pain or any other symptoms. What do you think he's got? If in case it's a UTI, which i think it's not, will i get it too? Please help me since i don't have anyone to talk to aside from searching here online.
