Common Questions and Answers about Ammonia toxicity study

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 Oral olaparib is well tolerated and highly active in advanced, chemotherapy-refractory BRCA-deficient ovarian cancer, with greater activity seen at the higher dose. Toxicity in BRCA1/2 carriers was similar to that seen in non-carriers. This study provides positive proof of the concept of the activity and tolerability of genetically defined targeted therapy with olaparib in BRCA-deficient ovarian cancers.
Avatar n tn Chances are that you have never heard of this study, the same as you likely never heard of a previous similar study because there has been a virtual news blackout as well as a concerted government effort to suppress such stories and studies for over thirty years.
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.
317787 tn?1473358451 Lactulose has profound health benefits by way of increasing bifidobacterial flora in the intestine of infants thereby protecting them against enteric infection, constipation and systemic encephalopathy. In the present study to assess the sub chronic toxicity of lactulose syrup, the rats were fed on a basal feed supplemented with lactulose syrup at 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 and 5.0% for a period of 21 weeks.
87972 tn?1322661239 The investigational hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS4B inhibitor clemizole demonstrated synergistic antiviral activity with the HCV protease inhibitors telaprevir and boceprevir -- meaning the combined effect was greater than the added effects of the 2 drugs used separately -- without increased toxicity, according to a laboratory study published in the July 1, 2010 Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Avatar f tn By using lactulose and rifaximin in the proper amounts the levels of ammonia and other toxins are reduced. The ammonia is created when food such as animal protein is not being digested properly. The rifaximin modifies the breakdown of food in the intestine. Lactulose keeps the digested food from staying in the intestines and creating ammonia and other toxins. I have had various levels of HE and when my mind is clear I can think as well as ever. Many friends have been comatose from HE.
Avatar f tn considering treatment. volunteered for hep c study and was surprised to have viral load of 6.55 million and high serum ammonia. only other values to compare it to was 198,000. 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 it would be useful if they study these breakthru but as shown on studies they look not interested in this, a simple check of hbsag quant and cytokines during breakthrough could tell if this is immune response, resistance or missing pills as for resistance a study with ultradeep sequence is also needed to know the minor viral populations
Avatar m tn Arrowhead Completes Enrollment in Phase 1 Study of ARC-520 for the Treatment of Chronic Hepatitis B - Safety and tolerability support advancement of ARC-520 into Phase 2a PASADENA, Calif. - October 8, 2013 - Arrowhead Research Corporation (NASDAQ: ARWR), a biopharmaceutical company developing targeted RNAi therapeutics, today announced that it completed enrollment in a Phase 1 clinical trial of ARC-520, its RNAi-based candidate against chronic hepatitis B virus infection.
Avatar m tn ezetimibe has been used to the max dose of 120mg/day without sides for months, no study on toxicity at higher doses because 10mg is more than enough for cholesterol but for ntcp much higher doses are needed for sure
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.
406107 tn?1219012600 Well I finally got my answer about the Remicade Study, "No" Martin @ Cedars said that the Remicade would definitely exacerbate my COPD. So, he said that: at the end of this summer,< (sigh), Cedars is doing a 'PROTEASE', Study. Pron. PRO-TEE-ACE. Martin told me that Protase inhibits the growth of the HCV by keeping it from replicating itself. I asked about 'rescue drugs' and he said that the P. Study does have rescue drugs which are given as soon as it is indicated.
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 m tn i was just told i have portal hypertension varicis and hep c with high ammonia levels this may be a stupid question but i am in the trucking industry can i still drive for a living

Avatar n tn Hi, my mother is end stage and living in a nursing home at this time. She can no longer walk or get up on her own and comes and goes with her mental alertness. She's been on lactulose but it doesn't seem to be clearing the ammonia from the blood enough so she can communicate clearly. I have been reading about ribivarin and lactulose together can sometimes help with the ammonia. Has anybody dealt with this with any success? Thanks...
163305 tn?1333668571 Michael Antoniou’s team at King’s College London was a followup investigation of the long-term (2-year) toxicity study in rats of Roundup conducted by Dr. Gilles-Eric Seralini and colleagues (Seralini et al., 2014). The Seralini investigation administered a commercial Roundup formulation at 0.1 ppb (parts per billion)/50 ppt (parts per trillion) glyphosate via drinking water for 2 years.
Avatar m tn We need money to solve this, I got home and looked at my blood work, its very basic, Im going to need money to get even a comprehensive blood panel, There are toxicity tests, SIBO home test, complete metabolic panel test, lyme disease (which is highky related to the parasites) comprehensive stool analysis, stool toxin and microbiology tests, metal test. These tests are out there, but we need the money. Genova, accessalab, quest diagnostics, Ubiome. They have the test we need.
