Ammonia Smell And Kidney Failure: Causes And Management

Ammonia smell or an ammonia or metal taste in the mouth is one of the symptoms of kidney disease. Knowing the symptom of kidney disease can help people detect it early enough to get treatment. Then what is cause of ammonia smell and how to deal with it in kidney failure?

Firstly, let’s have a comprehensive understanding of ammonia swell in kidney failure.

One of the important functions of kidney is to filter extra wastes out of the body and keep the inner environment in a clean and healthy state. Chronic kidney disease(CKD) occurs when kidneys are no longer able to clean toxins and wastes from the blood and perform their function to full capacity. CKD is a progressive kidney disease and if left untreated, it may develop into kidney failure. When kidney failure occurs, the filtering function of kidneys can be worsened, and wastes and toxins can pile up in the body, thus causing bad breath, changes in taste, or an aversion to protein foods like meat. In a word, the root cause of ammonia smell in kidney failure is kidney function impairment.

Secondly, let’s learn how to cope with this symptom in kidney failure.

As mentioned above, damaged kidneys lead to kidney function insufficiency and then cause waste products piling up in the body. In this light, the treatment for alleviating ammonia smell is to repair damaged kidney and improve kidney function. As long as kidney function is improved, the ability to discharge wastes out of the body will be elevated and then ammonia smell is also delt with relatively.

Thirdly, how to improve kidney function?

On the basis of traditional Chinese medicine, Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy is invented to repair damaged kidney tissues and improve kidney function. The ingredients in Chinese medicines can come to the damaged kidney lesion directly through your skin as the Chinese herbs are micronized with the help of osmosis machine. Moreover, the ingredients can provide some nutrients and blood for damaged kidneys so as to alleviate renal ischemia and hypoxia. In this way, further kidney damage can be stopped and inflammation can be prevented. Both of them are helpful for kidney restoration. And gradually kidney function can be improved.

Although ammonia smell is just one of the symptoms of kidney failure, you should not neglect it; otherwise, it may exacerbate kidney damage. Therefore, taking timely treatment to repair kidney damage and improve kidney function is the key point in ammonia smell.
