What chemical is made from ammonia that excreted in the urine?
Our liver converts ammonia into urea. This urea is excreted out in the urine.
The sequencce of removing ammonia from the body is?
Ammonia is part of an amino group which is highly toxic thus cannot be allowed directly into the blood to travel from liver to kidney. It must first be converted into urea or uric acid a less toxic form. It can then travel to the kidney where it is filtered and then eliminated from the body. The term for breaking down the amino group to form ammonia is called deamination.
Why we use blood for ammonia level?
When there is excessive level of ammonia in our body, and it is not properly excreted in by the liver, they tend to circulate in our blood. This is why blood is withdrawn to determine ammonia level.
Does the liver add ammonia to the blood?
No, it removes it.
Why is there high blood ammonia level?
Hepatic encephalopathy is a liver disorder. Liver is responsible for excreting excess proteins (CHON) in our body. Ammonia is a by-product of protein. If liver is damaged, ammonia levels will go up and will circulate in our blood (condition called hyperammonemia). This is why patients with liver disease are restricted with protein rich foods.
What organ in the body converts the toxic ammonia to a harmless substance called urea through the actions of its enzymes?

What is a normal ammonia level?
Ammonia, which is a nitrogen based compound, is typically broken down in the liver, and may be elevated in any kind of liver dysfunction. Normal levels are from 0 to 40 micromol/L.
What restores Ph level of blood?
Liver and respiratory system
What is the organ that produces urea in our body?
The liver produces urea when it metabolises (breaks down) proteins. This is done in hepatocytes (liver cells). Amino acids are first broken down into ammonia, which is highly soluble and toxic in the blood plasma, so ammonia is joined with carbon dioxide to make urea, this is less soluble and less toxic but a build up of urea is toxic in the blood. Urea is then transported in the blood to be filtered out by the kidneys.
What converts ammonia wastes from the cells in urea?
liver
What is your liver enzymes supposed to be?
Your Liver is supposed to be 36 and under.
