What is an Ammonia test?
Ammonia test, also called NH3 test, blood ammonia test, or serum ammonia test, is conducted to measure the ammonia levels in the blood. Ammonia is a waste product generated in our bodies during protein digestion. Bacteria in our gut and cells create ammonia. Ammonia is further processed in our liver and converted into urea, another waste product that can flush through the body with urine. If you are unable to process ammonia, the levels of ammonia buildup in the bloodstream can cause serious health issues.

What is an Ammonia Test used for?
Ammonia test is used to detect causes or diseases causing abnormal ammonia levels. It is also used to monitor the ammonia levels in the bloodstream for existing health problems.
