Diagnosis
Under normal conditions in the body, ammonia, urea, uric acid, and creatinine are produced by protein metabolism and excreted through the kidney as urine. When these by-products cannot be excreted properly from the body they will accumulate and become highly toxic. Protein consumption is a major source of these waste products. An accumulation of these waste products can occur in people with kidney insufficiency who eat a diet rich in protein and therefore can not excrete the waste properly.
