What Causes Strong Odour Of Ammonia In The Urine?

Hi! I am a 44 year old male who weighs 140lbs and measures 5 feet two inches.My urine is smelling really strong like ammonia and my teeth are hurting when i take a bite. i wonder if these symptoms added to low grade fever for three night in a row may be related to one bigger problem. Thanks!

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

After looking at your symptoms which you wrote I can give you the possible causes of strong smelling urine like ammonia. Urine usually have no smell but if it is having strong smell then these are the possibilities:

1.Urinary tract infection as you have added low grade fever as your symptom. It must be treated with antibiotics after doing a urine culture.

2.Urinary stones will also have the similar symptoms and it needs to be ruled out with XRAY-KUB.

3. Not the least is the dehydration in which you will have concentrated urine which will smell like ammonia.

If you were my patient I ll ask you to drink plenty of water , Syrup.citralka and treat you according to your reports.

Hope this answers your query.

Regards,
Dr.Alekhya.
