Avatar f tn she has continued to take the Lactolose for the past two weeks but today her ammonia level is 150. I would like to find out how high ammonia level can go before it is considered toxic and will cause her to go into a coma? I am also wondering in end stage cirrhosis 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 remains at that level?
Avatar n tn According to what you posted, he was diagnosed with Angelman Syndrome - which is a genetic disorder. There is no cure. From the symptoms you describe, that seems to fit. Other than physical therapy and other care that is similar, I don't really have any other ideas.

531798 tn?1231375541 hey ladies, might be a silly question, but are mussels ok to eat during pregnancy, and what about penne in vodka sauce? i'm a little concerned about the vodka sauce, i know most of the alchohol evaporates, but was just wondering...
1008841 tn?1293598960 In terms of diet, I believe you should be avoiding as much salt as possible, and at least for the short term, reduce animal proteins to avoid complications of ammonia toxicity. Try to limit your protein intake to things like legumes and soy products; they are less likely to metabolize into ammonia in your gut. Protein is an important component of your diet though; be sure to confirm any info you gather here with your doctor.
Avatar m tn The premise of most pathophysiologic theories involves the accumulation of ammonia in the central nervous system, producing alterations of neurotransmission that affect consciousness and behavior. These ammonia toxicity theories have been supported by studies demonstrating increased ammonia levels in patients with both fulminant hepatic failure and chronic liver disease.
317787 tn?1473358451 or is it only the lactulose that removes the ammonia? I appreciate any advice. I see the doctor on May 1st and will also talk to him.

Avatar f tn I heard u can eat mussels an clams if cooked properly I also hear absolutely not. Can I eat them if I cook them correctly?
Avatar f tn Published in the peer-reviewed Ground Water, this study raises renewed questions about the potential for hydraulic fracturing to fundamentally alter shale rock formations and the hydrogeologic cycle in ways that could affect freshwater drinking supplies. There are also concerns that improperly sealed or unsealed abandoned drilling wells and naturally occurring fractures and faults will offer a path to connect gas bearing shale layers with overlying freshwater aquifers.
1150601 tn?1273503930 I wouldn't worry. Some women don't show that soon even with twins. Do you have strong abs? If your mussels are strong, they make it so you don't show as soon. As long as the baby's are developing on track there should be no need to worry. With my first I didn't show for a while (around 20 weeks or so I think), but the second time I started showing around 11 because my mussels were week and stretched out.
Avatar m tn Ok, so me and my girlfriend went skinny dipping yesterday in a freshwater river. There was a current but it was facing in her direction. I possibly ejaculated but the only time we touched was kissing and my penis touched her stomache once for about 1 second. Could she possibly be pregnant? Oh and she was also on her period and she had a tampon in the whole time (which was about 2 minutes that we were in the water).
374652 tn?1494811435 Monitoring of food consumption, gain in body weight and physical observations did not reveal any treatment-related toxicity in any of the group of rats. Terminal autopsy also did not reveal any signs of toxicity. Further, no significant alterations in relative organ weight, serum biochemistry and urinalysis were observed up to 1% lactulose supplementation level. The results suggest that supplementation of lactulose in the diet does not produce any toxicity at the doses tested.

Avatar m tn He tries to make others at the table laugh by putting salt and pepper in his drink. Last night while out to dinner, he poured cheese on his mussels. He made an inappropriate joke about smelly people and removed himself several times from the table to go look at a poker machine that the restaurant had. I guess my question is that at the almost age of 10, should he be more polished, more gentleman-like at a restaurant? By this age, should his maturity level be higher than where it is?
Avatar f tn This study found that some of the most commonly eaten shellfish, including oysters, crabs, clams, shrimp and mussels, showed no evidence of raising cholesterol levels. Crab and clams actually lowered the LDL levels (bad cholesterol). Mussels and oysters also lowered LDL, while raising HDLs. Fish and seafood contain a small amount of cholesterol, but are also rich in healthy, unsaturated fat and low in saturated fat, the type of fat that tends to raise blood cholesterol..
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 n tn We discovered that my husband had an episode of Encephalopathy, which is high ammonia in the blood. 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.
