Sterling Accuris offers an Ammonia Test in Mehsana to measure the levels of ammonia in your blood. It is used to monitor the conditions that cause high ammonia levels in the blood, most often caused by liver disorders.
Overview of the Ammonia Test
Ammonia is a waste product generated by gut bacteria and body cells during protein synthesis. Processing of ammonia occurs in the liver. From the blood, ammonia is then removed through urination. But if the kidneys are not able to remove ammonia from the blood, ammonia build-up can occur, which is toxic.
Ammonia levels should be measured in order to diagnose or monitor conditions that cause high ammonia levels. Book an Ammonia test near you for accurate and reliable results.
Why and When is an Ammonia Test done?
Ammonia produced in the body is processed into urea by the liver. Urea is removed from the body through urination. The build-up of ammonia is toxic to vital organs, especially the brain. If your healthcare provider suspects a toxic build-up of ammonia in the body due to conditions like hepatic encephalopathy, Reye disorder, or urea cycle disorders, an ammonia test is recommended.
The following signs and symptoms may be present if you have an increased build-up of ammonia in your blood:
