What is ammonia?

The bacteria in your intestines predominantly produce ammonia, also known as NH3, when they digest protein. Normally, ammonia is converted into urea, another waste product, in your liver throughout the processing process. Once in your kidneys, the urea is removed by urination (pee).

Ammonia accumulates in your blood and has the potential to enter your brain if any component of this cycle, also known as the urea cycle, is malfunctioning. Your blood's ammonia concentration needs to stay extremely low. The central nervous system is poisoned by hyperammonemia, even at mildly increased levels (CNS).

What are the usual levels of ammonia?

Age-related differences in normal blood ammonia levels show that infants have higher amounts than older kids or adults. The levels of ammonia in infants are also influenced by gestational and postnatal ages.

Healthy term infants: 459 micromoles per litre (micromol/L); the maximum limit of normal is thought to be 80–90 micromol/L.

71.26 micromol/L for preterm babies, plunging to term statuses in about one week.

Less than 50 micromol/L in children older than one month.

Less than 30 micromol/L for adults.

How much ammonia is harmful?

Ammonia is quite poisonous. The average blood ammonia concentration is less than 50 micromoles per litre (micromol/L), but this might change with ageing. Even a small rise of 100 micromol/L can cause awareness to alter. A coma and convulsions are linked to blood ammonia levels of 200 micromol/L.

How can the body's ammonia levels be measured?

A blood examination by your medic can discern how much ammonia is in your blood. A tiny needle and test tube will be used by a medical professional to collect blood from a vein in your arm.

A healthcare professional will clean your newborn's heel and prick it with a tiny needle to do a test. A bandage will be applied to the wound once a few drops of blood are collected

What signs or symptoms indicate excessive levels of ammonia?

High blood ammonia levels can cause the following symptoms:

  • Disorientation and confusion.
  • extreme drowsiness
  • alterations to awareness
  • mood changes
  • Hand trembling
  • Coma.
