Question 1

my blood ammonia level is 97 mcg/dl (lab range 27-102 mcg/dl).  my complete metabolic panels are always normal.  is this ammonia level considered high?  is it high enough to cause encephalopathy?

Accepted Answer

No,its in the: normal range. It is not nearly high enough to cause encephalopathy..

Question 2

labs for liver ammonia says 76. high end of normal is 32. husband hasn't taken lacutulose or other medicine for a month. seems ok. is this ok?

Accepted Answer

No: The ammonia level is worrisome and he should resume daily lactulose and avoid high meat and high protein intake and completely abstain from alcohol. Somnolence would be an ominous sign of impending liver coma. I assume that a hepatologist or gastroenterologist is following him and his liver status closely.

Question 3

lab says normal liver ammonia is between 27-102.husbands is 108 and doctor put him on lactulose. has stage 3 fibrosis.why when ammonia not that high?

Accepted Answer

Intersting question : very interesting question. If you take 1/2 of healthy liver out surgically liver func will still be normal. Person with fibrosis and ammonia even though slightly elevated signifies significant loss of liver function. Please follow your physician's advice

Question 4

i have lab results with ammonia, plasma: 271 ug/dl what does this mean for me?

Accepted Answer

Ammonia: To me this represents a very sick liver.

Question 5

am i in danger if i breathed some ammonia fumes in lab?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I short exposure should present no problems.

Question 6

is 15.5 a high hemoglobin level? or is it normal for a 33 year old female? some labs that number is in normal range.  some labs it is out of range.

Accepted Answer

It is normal Hb: I would be concerned if it was over 16 Gms/dl

Question 7

is an ammonia level of 41 umol dangerously high all other level test within normal range except alt 87?

Accepted Answer

No: It's a marker for illness, not a dangerous level in itself.

Question 8

i have had some lab work to find out my troponin levels and they were .13 and the other one is .18 is this normal or are these values high?

Accepted Answer

That depends: On the type of troponin level tested: trop-i or trop-t.  Generally anything 0-0.1micrograms/l is within normal range for trop-t, trop i is &lt;10 micrograms/l.  It also depends highly on the labs "normal ranges" as these differ from lab to lab.  Always good to stick with the same lab and methodology to follow trends in labs.  If at the er for chest pain to rule out mi, they would look at ekg's too.

Question 9

is uric acid level of 469.08 umol/l is too high? some laboratory says normal value from 89-417 umol/l, some says 208-506 umol/l. im 32 yrs old male.

Accepted Answer

Forget it: Unless you have gout, there is no reason to ever treat a uric acid level. Therefore i would suggest you ignore it.

Question 10

hello. i had labs conducted recently. normal white and red blood levels but high neut auto (81%)  and low lymph auto (12%). what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Infection: there is wide range of potentials most commonly if infection, other causes include stress (physical or emotional, vigorous exercise), smoking, some medications, autoimmune diseases, other blood or systemic disorders
