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?
722836 tn?1296077124 t know if this will help but I would try using a biological washing powder on the carpet - I know it works with animals where the ammonia smell is really strong so perhaps it might help on human urine. With regard to a health risk I would assume not (although don't quote me).
Avatar n tn This is the Hep C Forum. While we talk about high ammonia levels, it is in conjunction with Hep C and the liver problems from there. yOu might want to make sure the Dr did a Hep C Antibody these to make sure she doesn't have it then go to the list of Communities ( touch Communities at the top of the thread) and find the health and wellness site for more assistance. Good luck and Blessings to you both.
9171934 tn?1405180032 Kitties just have ammonia in the urine and while it smells super nasty it won't harm the baby because its not concentrated enough. Breathing is safe, touching not so much.
Avatar n tn I cannot agree with Dr. Coyner more. Inducing cancer in lab animals is only done under high levels of scientific scrutiny and regulation and at authorized facilities by properly educated scientists and a known beneficial outcome for science. Today the movement is toward non animal models so that even lab rats do not have to suffer. No veterinarian in our group is going to advise you on this as it appears mis-guided.
1969477 tn?1327548419 It's quite probable. I know that bleach and ammonia create a deadly combination, but I don't know if the amount of ammonia in dog urine is concentrated enough to be hazardous. However, if it's indoors, not well ventilated even just the solution itself could be harmful.
Avatar f tn s not the problem. The problem is the pee and ammonia in the poo. If you use a mask like dentists use and gloves. Or just cover your mouth and nose with a plastic bag. (Don't suffocate) and clean it. Then you're fine. Otherwise you'll have to send the cat out. Eventually I did. I always refused to take my cat out but it became a hassle to be taking extra caution.
Avatar f tn If the liver is decompromised it cannot metabolize the waste products hence there is an elevation of blood ammonia levels resulting in increased excretion in the urine. Also, increased levels of ammonia may also be seen with gastrointestinal bleeding, where the blood cells are haemolysed in the intestines, releasing protein. Please discuss this with your doctor am sure he will provide further assistance. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn If you suspect high levels of ammonia in your blood, then a common treatment for that is taking large amounts of lactulose (ca. 45 mL every 2-4 hours, or until you get watery stools). I think it might require a prescription in the US, but when I was living in Australia, it's sold over-the-counter as Actilax.
1008841 tn?1293598960 The malnourishment and toxicity from the compounds in the tap water, cumulatively build and eventually manifests in symptoms of disease. They can even contribute to being overweight or obese because a toxic liver orders your fat cells to holds on to toxins until it's ready to process them. http://www.examiner.
Avatar f tn Our cat used to sleep in our bedroom before pregnancy and during. Also have 2 dogs. Whilst pregnant I stopped all animals in bedroom at night, as a precaution. Got them an extra comfy bed to sleep on and an extra blanket on the sofa. They got used to it quick so wasn't such a shock, new baby and being forced out. Cat didn't take any notice of baby though.
Avatar m tn There were no issues with toxicity, that data has been reported. He surmises the reason they are going for higher dosing in Aus is due to efficacy, however they just released that dosing has just begun so that info would be available yet. My belief is they are just wanting to see the safety profile with higher doses in case they are required for greater knockdown.
Avatar n tn The study by Manuel Guzman of Madrid Spain found that cannabinoids, the active components of marijuana, inhibited tumor growth in laboratory animals by modulating key cell-signaling pathways and thus causing direct growth arrest and death of tumor cells. The study also found that cannabinoids inhibited angiogenesis and that cannabinoids were usually well tolerated and did not produce the generalized toxic effects of conventional chemotherapies. According to neurologist Dr.
317787 tn?1473358451 This water softens stools. Lactulose is also used to reduce the amount of ammonia in the blood of patients with liver disease. It works by drawing ammonia from the blood into the colon where it is removed from the body.
Avatar f tn MTX has narrow therapeutic index and its toxicity has been reported in various organ systems including gastrointestinal, haematologic and central nervous system. The objective of the present study is to investigate the germ cell toxicity induced by MTX in male Swiss mice. MTX was administered intraperitoneally (ip) at the doses of 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg to mice (20-25 g) weekly once (wk) for 5 and 10 weeks. The animals were sacrificed 1 week after receiving the last treatment of MTX.
Avatar n tn I AM DIAGNOSED WITH END STAGE LIVER DISEASE AS A RESULT OF ALCOHOL ABUSE. THIS IS THE INFO I HAVE BEEN GIVEN CONCERNING AMMONIA LEVELS. NORMAL IS 80 AND UNDER. MY AMMONIA HAS BECOME ELEVATED AS HIGH AS 800. WHEN MY AMMONIA BECOMES ELEVATED, ENCEPHALOPATHY SETS IN. THIS CAUSES ME TO BECOME CONFUSED, DISORIENTED, AND UNSTEADY ON MY FEET. THIS IS USUALLY THE POINT WHERE I END UP IN THE HOSPITAL.
163305 tn?1333668571 The study results suggest that long-term exposure to an ultra-low, environmental dose of Roundup at an glyphosate-equivalent concentration of only 50 ppt (parts per trillion), in an established laboratory animal toxicity model system, can result in liver and kidney damage, with potential significant health implications for humans as well as domesticated animal and wildlife populations. The study performed by Dr.
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 f tn never had ammonia tested previously. estimated contracted virus in approx 1975, needle sharing in NV or CO. genotype 4c/4d, turning 57 this year. grade 0 stage 1 on biopsy in 2001. concerned about progression, possible indicators besides biopsy. I suppose a current biopsy is required to seriously consider treatment.
Avatar m tn I got a lot of my stuff from the dollar store. Ammonia, plastic sheeting and plastic containers. Plastic sheeting to wrap mattress in. Change once a week. Ammonia, borax and Dr. Bronners peppermint soap (a little goes a long way) for bathing in. Boiling or steam ironing clothes,sheets and towels. I rarely get bit or crawled on anymore except for my feet. It takes time. These things are very resilient. Don't waste money buying a lot of stuff.
Avatar m tn Charcoal is not administered in cases of Rimadyl® toxicity due to chronic Rimadyl® administration or in the case of idiosyncratic reactions. Placement of an intravenous catheter for administration of intravenous fluids and other medications. Intravenous fluids are administered at high rates (diuresis) to rehydrate pets that are dehydrated from vomiting and diarrhea and to treat or prevent kidney failure.
Avatar m tn What can cause a ammonia smell in sweat and Colin? the girl had the same smell.
