Experiences with

Ammonia

Does a serum urea blood test measure ammonia

Has anyone experienced an ammonia, chemical smell while taking anti-rejection meds? I'm taking Tacrolimus, Presidone and Cellcept. It's not constant but happens enough to be concerned.Tks

Hi,I have recently been getting a very strong smell of ammonia in my nose. It's putting me off food, my face seems puffy and skin very dry and my weight has increased. I take 150mg of levothyroxine for hypothyroidism and take stelara for my Crohn's.

Had tinnitus and bad headache when waking for about a year which recedes slowly when erect,I have cirrhosis with usual side crap.It seems ammonia from cirrhosis has capability to cross the blood/csf barrier in the brain which can lead to a plethora of symptoms which I think will remain largely unfathomable

He refuses to quit drinking, also refuses to take the medication that will bring down ammonia levels in his brain, Ironically because it makes him sick. So..last 7 days he has probably eaten what I eat in one meal. Still drinking “all of it”, but has vomiting and diarrhea.

Still have to have my blood ammonia levels tested and a liver biopsy. Regardless of what biopsy reveals, isn’t it fair to say regardless of the cause the effect is the same ? By that I mean a form of portal hypertension is the end result.

There is a smell which I cannot identify as fishy, sweet or like ammonia, but not all the time. The nearest is probably fishy.

The man wakes up in total darkness, the stench of ammonia filling the air and distant screams the only noise. As he adjusts, he can see the only light is from belches of flame far away, illuminating the ragged remains of people being tortured or burning in a sulphurous ocean.

He is scheduled for paracentesis next week, has been prescribed a second diuretic to help with the ascites and a medication to remove ammonia from the blood to help with HE. He has no varices. He’s had several blood tests from Aug -Oct and each time his liver functions are improving.

Dehydrogenase LFT Liver Function Tests LH Luteinizing Hormone Li+ or Li Lithium MetHb/MetHgb Methemoglobin Mg, Mag Magnesium MIC Minimum Inhibitory Concentration MMA Methylmalonic Acid Mn Manganese Mono Mononucleosis NA Sodium NEOTY Neonate Type and DAT NEOXM Neonate Type and XM NH3 Ammonia

He recently had to go on a medication to help control ammonia levels. So they took him off his diuretics. This has caused a significant weight gain for him in a short period of time. His weight is up to 317 right now and we are very concerned.

Here I believe that damage to the Astrocytes and Microglia cells caused by ammonia can bring about the build-up of Tau within the brain as this video illustrates: https://youtu.be/0GXv3mHs9AU The main article that the video is taken from can be found here: https://www.nia.nih.gov/health/what-happens-brain-alzheimers-disease

I’ve also read about B12 supplements increasing ammonia. I currently don’t have a doctor. I was seeing a naturopath, but I feel he harmed and neglected me, so I stopped seeing him.

, easy walk up the stairs…I’ve still got extremely bad brain fog, which to be fair I can’t drive so not too harmful for others, and just 2 days ago after obsessively poring over sobriety pages and podcasts came upon the symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy and ammonia which is good for my hypochondria

The Royal Society 2018 …ammonia emissions in the UK have been rising since 2013, with significant implications for biodiversity and human health. The agricultural sector is the biggest contributor to ammonia pollution, producing 82 per cent of all UK ammonia emissions in 2016.

ammonia plasma is 119 and range is from 15-45 what causes high results. Scared something might be wrong with me . Any suggestions thank you.

When it was at 15 I began smelling ammonia and my heart was begining to beat differently, I was exhausted and my hearing was like "airplane ears" as well as my vision was way worse. Went to ER and they said my potassium was at 6 and my Creatine was at 4.9 Filled me up with IV and sent me.on my way.

About 2 weeks ago I started getting the ammonia breath I've heard about and my mouth always has a bad taste...almost rotten taste like garbage. My tongue even burns a bit. My dentist says my teeth are fine. My neph says I shouldn't have this until stage 5, but I have it and I'm so self conscious.

I smell of very strong ammonia and really don’t know where to turn. Gastro adamant my liver is fine so seems to take little heed to my symptoms. I just hope colonoscopy is soon. Please no references to anxiety, I know the difference. Any advice will be welcome.
