A plasma ammonia level of 55 micrograms per deciliter does not indicate an overwhelmed urea cycle.

“it's 55 micrograms per deciliter in the blood it's quite low many people will point to a diet like mine an animal-based diet of significant amounts of meat one and a half two pounds plus of meat per day plus organs and say oh you're going to raise your serum ammonia you're going to raise the ammonia in your blood because you're going to overwhelm the urea cycle so if there is concern about that you can get a blood level of ammonia and look to see what that ammonia level is”
