Ammonia vs nitrate nitrogen

Common Questions and Answers about Ammonia vs nitrate nitrogen

ammonia

Avatar n tn Urine is high in nitrates, compounds high in nitrogen and oxygen. Ammonia is made up of nitrogen and hydrogen. (NH3) What you are smelling is the high concentration of bonded nitrogen. Normally, diluted urine doesn't have much odor. If you're dehydrated and your urine becomes highly concentrated, it can have a strong ammonia smell.
Avatar n tn The name Peru saltpetre or Chile saltpetre (American Peru saltpeter or Chile saltpeter) refers not to potassium nitrate but to a similar chemical sodium nitrate. Major uses of potassium nitrate are in fertilizers, rocket propellants and fireworks; it is one of the constituents of gunpowder.
1134500 tn?1260875857 after reaserch on my machine i was exposed to ammonia gas given off from sodium nitrate in the water,the ph level was 12 when i found out after ph of 7 ammonia gas is given off,i was not protected by any ppe.the question was can this chemical cause my cluster headaches,as i know ammonia can trigger them off but dont know about causing them...thanks glen.
Avatar f tn 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. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
Avatar m tn Lactulose vs. Xifaxan to decrease the ammonia. And beta blockers vs. banding for the varices which I presume are esophageal. You will get variations of experiences here which are therapeutic relative to your anxiety and directive relative to the facts But go to your Hepatologist with these anxieties because you can manage the effects of cirrhosis. My best.
Avatar m tn s a good question, and I understand where you are going with the question, but the medical treatment for angina is usually a nitrate that specifically dilates the coronary vessels. My understanding of nitrate medication one can develop a tolerance with continued useage without an interuption. I only take a nitrate 3 times a week without any problems so I can't verify by personal experience.
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.
926271 tn?1258459843 My husband and & went on a trip and when we came back our 6 y.o. son had lots of 'mosquito bites' and a red circular lesion in the inside of an ankle. At first looked like an infected mosquito or ant bite. You could see a small opening like when you scratch a lot, I treated with peroxide and neosporin as usual but after 2 weeks (i didn't think it was bad) I noticed it didn't get better.
1475202 tn?1536270977 Which is why patients with overt HE are advised to avoid red meats which during digestion create a lot of ammonia. Other sources of serum ammonia are the kidneys and skeletal muscle. Normally, ammonia is metabolized by the liver. When the liver function is impaired, shunting of blood around the liver, and increased muscle wasting all lead to increased serum ammonia levels in cirrhotic patients. But ammonia isn't the only toxin involved in HE.
Avatar f tn It could be a respiratory problem that causes shortness of breath and chest pains. The treatment of a nitrate medication should eliminate chest pain if it is a heart issue (angina). There could be restenosis stent implant site; another occluded vessel. If the inhaler resolves the problem, that may be evidence of a respiratory problem. Didn't the stress test indicate the degree of impairment related to shortness of breath?
Avatar n tn -Cryosurgery, which involves freezing the wart (generally with liquid nitrogen), creating a blister between the wart and epidermal layer, after which the wart and surrounding dead skin falls off by itself. -Surgical curettage of the wart. -Laser treatment. But all these three would require you to see a dermatologist. You can try Imiquimod, a topical cream that helps the body's immune system fight the wart virus by encouraging interferon production.
Avatar f tn My dr gave me the OK to dye my hair when pregnant. She said it doesn't effect the baby. It's an old wives tale. My stylist also said that the only reason she doesn't like to do it much is because your hormones can effect the color your hair comes out. Nothing that effects the baby though. I've been getting my hair done.
Avatar n tn Treatment includes salicyclic acid application,curettage,cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen,laser treatment and silver nitrate pencils and glutaraldehyde and formaldehyde preparations. I feel that you should consult a dermatologist and discuss these possibilities with him. Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
Avatar m tn Most ammonia is produced in the intestine by colonic breakdown of nitrogenous compounds and enterocytic catabolism of amino acids. Other sources of ammonia are the kidneys and skeletal muscle. Normally, ammonia is metabolized in the liver and promptly excreted through the kidneys or colon. Formation of glutamine from glutamate, by glutamine synthetase, in the liver and brain is another means of detoxifying ammonia.
Avatar f tn d never wash lingerie in bleach or ammonia...you could also get a rash from those if you have sensitive skin.
Avatar n tn Lung infections like pneumonia ,exposure to certain chemicals like chlorine, ammonia or nitrogen dioxide, smoke inhalation and certain kidney diseases can also cause it. Please visit your doctor and get yourself examined. Do keep posting.
Avatar f tn And if you pack cloth diapers to go out in public or whatever that you firmly believe are clean and your child suddenly smells of ammonia ( due to the improperly cleaned diaper) you can try another diaper that was also improperly cleaned and continue to get the smell.
Avatar f tn The presence of blood in the upper gastrointestinal tract results in increased ammonia and nitrogen absorption from the gut. Bleeding may predispose to kidney hypoperfusion and impaired renal function. Blood transfusions may result in mild hemolysis, with resulting elevated blood ammonia levels. **** So the bleeding from ulcers could trigger an episode of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in a patient with cirrhosis and HE to begin with.
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 f tn with perms it may take perfect before but during and after your hair may not take at all .... But there is no difference in getting ammonia free or organic vs using ones with ammonia or not organic....
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 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 m tn Had to be given four blasts of liquid nitrogen to remove a skin cancer from my face. In the next couple of weeks it will be permanently gone. The reason I am putting this here is as a warning. If you have a strange mark or growth anywhere on your body, do not hesitate to have it checked out. I was wise enough to do something about it as soon as I spotted it. I didn't know what it was and decided to take no chances. In addiction the same philosophy applies.
Avatar f tn I had unprotected oral sex with a prostitute 2 weeks later I got a red pimple dot on my penis I went to the doctor and they said it was molluscum contagiosum. They sprayed it with liquid nitrogen. A few days after I was checking my penis and seen a wart like thing on my penis I went to the dermatologist they took a look at said it doesn't look like a wart but we will spray liquid nitrogen and if it goes away it's a wart if it doesn't it's not.
Avatar m tn I'm 31 and finally had orgasms (cervical ones) after having kids a couple years ago. Not to brag, it was really simple to have them once I figured out exactly what to do shortly after my second kid - I'm assuming a physical change down there from labor exposed the right parts. I was having bleeding after sex and the Dr. fixed my "friable cervix" with silver nitrate a few months ago.
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.
