There are several reasons why urine may smell like ammonia. The most common cause is eating foods high in nitrogen like proteins, meats, eggs, and asparagus. Consuming large amounts of these foods can lead to a strong ammonia smell in urine. Another cause is urinary tract infections from bacteria in the kidneys, urinary tract, or bladder, which are more common in women. Insufficient water intake can also concentrate urine chemicals and cause odors. Other potential issues include liver or kidney disease.

3. There are several reasons why urine smells like ammonia. As ammonia is
mainly nitrogen, the most common cause of the smell is thus, eating foods
with high concentrations of nitrogen: proteins, meats, eggs and the like, as well
as few vegetables like asparagus. Eating lots of these will cause a strong smell
of ammonia in urine.
Of course, uine itself does not smell; it is the concentration of various
chemicals in it. When one is dehydrated, there is less water in one’s urine, this
results in a darker yellow color and a stronger odor from all the concentrated
chemicals. Sufficient amounts of water should be consumed each day to
prevent highly concentrated urine.
Another cause of ammonia smelling urine could be from a bacterial
infection, in the kidneys the urinary tract, or infection of the bladder and is
most commonly founding women, simply because of the positioning of
anatomical features. Urinary tract infections lead to even stronger smelling
urine than concentrated ammonia and it smells much more foul, though there
is a distinct ammonia odor.
Women also tend to get ammonia smelling urine after menopause. This could
occur because of diet changes for weight control and water drinking is often
minimized at this time, so it is important to drink lots of water during this
period.
Other issues could be serious liver or kidney damage or disease, so it is very
important to consult a doctor, if there are any other accompanying
symptoms, which could include burning sensations, itching, redness or
rash, fever, or chills and the odorous urine lasts for more than a few days.

Ada beberapa alasan mengapa bau urine seperti amoniak.
Karena sebagian besar adalah nitrogen, penyebab paling utama
dari bau itu adalah memakan makan-makanan dengan
konsentrasi nitrogen yang tinggi: protein, daging, telur, dan
sebagainya, juga beberapa sayuran seperti asparagus. Banyak
memakan makanan tersebut dapat menyebabkan bau amonia
yang menyengat dalam urin.

various chemicals in it. When one is dehydrated, there is less
water in one’s urine, this results in a darker yellow color and a
stronger odor from all the concentrated chemicals. Sufficient
amounts of water should be consumed each day to prevent
highly concentrated urine.
Tentu saja urin sendiri tidak berbau. Bau amonia adalah dari
konsentrasi dari berbagai kandungan didalamnya. Ketika
seseorang kekurangan air,maka urin orang tersebut
kekurangan air,hasilnya urin tersebut berwarna kuning gelap
dan berbau busuk yang menyengat yang berasal dari semua
konsentrasi kandungan. Jumlah air yang cukup harus
dikonsumsi setiap hari untuk mencegah urin yang
berkonsentrasi tinggi.

bacterial infection, in the kidneys the urinary tract, or infection
of the bladder and is most commonly founding women, simply
because of the positioning of anatomical features. Urinary tract
infections lead to even stronger smelling urine than
concentrated ammonia and it smells much more foul, though
there is a distinct ammonia odor.
Penyebab lain dari bau amonia pada urin dapat berasal dari
bakteri menular pada saluran urin di ginjal atau infeksi pada
kandung kemih dan ini umumnya ditemukan pada
wanita, singkatnya karena posisi dari ciri-ciri anatomi. Infeksi
saluran urin adalah yang utama mempengaruhi bau urin yang
kuat daripada kandungan amonia dan ini berbau lebih buruk
meskipun jelas berbau amonia.

9. Women also tend to get ammonia smelling urine after
menopause. This could occur because of diet changes for
weight control and water drinking is often minimized at this
time, so it is important to drink lots of water during this period.
Perempuan pun cenderung mempunyai urin berbau amonia
setelah menopause. Ini bisa terjadi karena diet untuk
mengontrol berat badan dan minum air yang sering
diminimalisir pada saat ini (menopause). Jadi, penting untuk
banyak minum air selama pada periode ini.

10. Other issues could be serious liver or kidney damage or
disease, so it is very important to consult a doctor, if there are
any other accompanying symptoms, which could include
burning sensations, itching, redness or rash, fever, or chills and
the odorous urine lasts for more than a few days.
Perkara lain bisa menyebabkan penyakit atau kerusakan
serius pada hati atau ginjal, jadi ini sangat penting untuk
dikonsultasikan dengan dokter, apabila ada yang lain disertai
gejala, yang dapat menyebabkan panas, kegatalan, kemerahan
atau ruam, demam atau menggigil dan bau busuk urin lebih
dari beberapa hari.
