Common Questions and Answers about Negative effects of ammonia in our environment
ammonia
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.
An untreated urea cycle disorder results in elevations of ammonia, which in turn causes changes in the brain, causing brain swelling, seizures, coma, and death. For someone who has recovered from the hyperammonemia, residua of damage affects cognitive function. Untreated, elevations of certain chemicals in the brain cause headaches, speech problems, and other problems with executive function.
He was advised to increase the lactulose to 30 ml twice a day for 5 days and then resume back to 15 ml twice a day. Is there any other medication for elevated ammonia? The side effects to lactulose are intolerable at times. He is experiencing depression, mood changes and personality changes. He did take the treatment of Ribavirin and Pegasys which was not effective.
People cough because our breath smells like ammonia. Causes of ammonia breath odor are h pylori gastritis and chronic renal failure. http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/symptoms/ammonia_breath_odor/causes.htm
Please get checked for h pylori, change your diet, do not skip meals!, and try be less anxious when people react to you because then the odor gets stronger. H pylori and halitosis is the cause. H pylori is #1 cause of stomach cancer. I suffer from PATM and I am h pylori positive.

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.
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?
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.
First of all, proteus can decompose urea to produce ammonia. We have all heard the smell of ammonia. The smell of urine in the toilet is the smell of ammonia. Therefore, the urine odor of PATM patients is produced by Proteus.
In addition, proteus produces indole and hydrogen sulfide in our intestines. Indole is another name for faecal odor. The reason why feces stink is because of the high concentration of indole in feces. The fecal odor of PATM patients is produced by Proteus.
I am wondering if there are any neurological issues asssociated such as poor memory
Hello Dragon~ I've never heard of the flavor taste etc. when your ammonia levels are high, you'll get headaches, confusion, anger from chem. imbalance and insomoa etc. as the side-effects of toxic overloads, I guess it might stand to reason that since other senses are effected, even eye-sight, that "taste" could be also...
hi, i was on effexor for 5 years and it does make you sweat alot, one of the many side effects of this med. i did'nt have the ammonia smell, that's something i've never heard of before. he should ask his dr. about this to find out what's going on. how is he doing otherwise on this med? is it helping his depression, is he having any other side effects? i hope you find out what's causing the ammonia smell. take care.
(I got tested for Herpes and the results came back negative for both. Kind of confusing, but then I read about a window period.. so I think with enough time one of them will show positive.)
- ..But now, my favorite one yet, I smell.. like a kind of ammonia smell. Or urine smell. I've noticed this the past few days and it's even more uncomfortable than the others when around people.
Anyway.
My computer is acting up! lol! Plus something else came up.
Let's start over.
It's a delicate situation.
When protein (mainly animal protein from diet) is broken down in the body by intestinal bacteria, in the process, there's ammonia produced, that his liver does not process, thus getting into the blood circulation and causing all sorts of complications.
One of them is ammonia toxicity in the brain.
after 3rd transplant on 10month old and numerous other surgeries for complications in a little over 2 weeks, last on was 4-31-12 all labs normal till today ammonia up to 417 2nd test was 377 what can cause ammonia to go up but everything else to be good?
I am terribly worried, because he was driving to work on the right side of the highway, and he must have passe out because when he opened his eyes he was all the way on the left side of the highway. my husband is my everything,and our kids world. he is one of those rare good guys that u hear bout, and i dont even want to think about what might happen if he would pass out at the wheel again! what could cause that or what other tests could he have done? can someone please please help???
The treatment was well tolerated and the patients completed the trial without any drug-related side-effects. The results of our trial, although in the context of an open assessment, confirm the clinical efficacy of rifaximin in association with a non-absorbable disaccharide such as lactulose. The 2 compounds have a synergetic effect in reducing ammonia-producing flora.
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.
I am taking Kristalose to relieve the build-up of ammonia in my blood due to hep-c. My doctor wants to see 4-5 bowel movements a day. He prescribed 2 - 20mg packs at breakfast, 2 at lunch and 1 at dinner. Some days I have 6-8 before dinner and since he does not want me to have more than that I will skip the dinner dose. My question is - If I have a movement the first thing the following morning - prior to taking anything - is that movement still removing ammonia 12-14 after the prior dose?
