Normal Ammonia Level?

I got my ammonia levels tested last week and my levels are at 61. My doctor says this is normal.

For those that know about these things, what do you think?

What does the lab say the normal range is?

You might also want to check out http://labtestsonline.org/understanding/analytes/ammonia/test.html for additional info about blood ammonia levels.

Take care,

Hi Razzle,

The lab says normal is between 19 and 87

It is within the lab's normal range. However, according to the link I posted above, blood ammonia levels and ammonia levels in the brain (or elsewhere) do not correlate, therefore you could have high ammonia elsewhere and it would not be reflected in the blood ammonia test. If you feel that you do have excess ammonia, you may want to ask your doctor about trying some ammonia detoxing to reduce the level. Herbs like chlorella, milk thistle, etc. detox ammonia. Good luck,
