[QUOTE="Pam R, post: 58539, member: 108"] My only experience with elevated ammonia levels has to do with liver function. My husband has end stage liver disease, and one of the symptoms is elevated ammonia levels. This is because the liver is unable to filter out the ammonia. Are his LFTs (Liver Function Tests) coming back normal? If not, a check into liver function would seem to be the step after liver function tests. Many people on SSRIs and other mood, etc. drugs often have regular LFTs done to watch for liver function, as they can affect the liver adversely. There may be other reasons for elevated ammonia but this is the one I am familiar with. Pam R. [/QUOTE]
