These findings might warrant further investigation at important research centers like Boston,New York,Baltimore,San Francisco,London,etc.

If urea and ammonia build up in the body because the kidneys are unable to eliminate them, for example, serious symptoms can result.

Why causes the urea to build up? Renal failure? Don't go to the bathroom often enough? Proteins in the brain are degenerating and creating urea as waste? Other biologic issues? Isn't this kind of a key point?

the build-up of urea in the brain to toxic levels can cause brain damage - and eventually dementia.

And this is what causes liberalism:

If you read the columns by Dr. Mercola, who addresses a lot of nutrition issues, he always talks about the danger of too much protein setting off the mTOR pathway, which causes inflammation and also presumably too much urea. Interesting stuff with regard to not only dementia, but cancer.

During my last physical, my doctor asked me how often I get up at night to go the bathroom. (I am over 60.) I responded that that was not a good measure for me since I make NO attempt to curtail fluid intake around bed time.

I had watched both my mother and my father limit their fluid intake resulting in general confusion and poor mental state. I decided that I would not allow that to happen to me.

I think the elderly self-regulate fluid intake once they have issues of incontinence. It probably isn’t very fun to need Depends or to need to change them.

My plan is to stock up at Costco on Depends, given the apparent alternative! :)

Urine on the brain?

Chelsea Handler approves...

Urea and ammonia in the brain are metabolic breakdown products of protein. Urea is more commonly known as a compound which is excreted from the body in urine. If urea and ammonia build up in the body because the kidneys are unable to eliminate them, for example, serious symptoms can result.

So drinking beer would be a good think? (remember, you only rent beer)

Again, type 2 diabetes is the culprit.

This disease has such an insidious nature. Type 2 might just be the disease that wipes out humanity.

Interesting. I have read that if the doc is presented with a geriatric female exhibiting symptoms of Dementia he should first suspect Urinary Tract Infection.

My Mom has Dementia / Alzheimers / whatever the favorite term is today and when she gets especially disoriented I immediately order a culture which usually results in treatment for a UTI. The problem is that in the Geriatric the blood brain barrier is compromised and infectious agents can cross into the brain. Like Urea?

Lactulose is used to bring people out of a coma, how could it not be helpful? Asking for a friend.
