How to Treat the Taste of Ammonia for Stage 4 Kidney Failure

Many people may complain about the problem that they have ammonia taste in their mouth. This article will show you answer.

The production of Ammonia is a result of metabolism, problems occur when this metabolic waste is not properly cleared via the Urea cycle and kidneys. Ammonia is the combination of Nitrogen and Hydrogen. An excess in the body is known as hyperammonaemia and can result in cell damage, vomitting, fatigue, Helicobacter pylori infection, confusion, irritability and nausea.

Ammonia production may be elevated if there is an underlying contributing factor such as Helicobacter pylori, stress, amino acid deficiency or liver cirrhosis. There is a link between the symptoms of an overgrowth of the Candida bacteria (as you mentioned) and Ammonia production and smell on the breath. A proper balance of good digestive flora is needed to ensure that there is no overproduction of Ammonia. You mentioned that you are also a vegetarian, this may also be a contributing factor because a deficiency of essential amino acids may contribute to the problem.
