Serum Ammonia Test

At healthcare nt sickcare, we offer a comprehensive range of medical lab tests, including the Ammonia Test. This test measures the level of ammonia in your blood, which is a waste product produced by your body during the breakdown of protein. Normally, your liver converts ammonia into urea, which is then excreted in your urine. However, if your liver is not functioning properly, or if there is a blockage in your bowel, the level of ammonia in your blood can increase and cause serious health problems.

The Ammonia Test is a simple blood test that can be done in-house or at an external laboratory. Our team of experienced medical professionals and state-of-the-art technology ensure accurate and reliable results. The test is recommended for individuals who may have symptoms such as confusion, disorientation, lethargy, or seizures, which can be associated with liver disease, kidney disease, or certain genetic disorders.

The Ammonia Test is also used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for liver disease, such as cirrhosis or hepatitis, and to detect potential complications such as hepatic encephalopathy, a condition that causes brain dysfunction due to the accumulation of toxic substances in the blood.

At healthcare nt sickcare, we are committed to providing you with the tools and resources you need to take control of your health. Contact us today to schedule your Ammonia Test.
