Ammonia
coefficient
It is expressed by the
following ratio:
Ammonia coefficient=Ammonia
nitrogen of urine / Total nitrogen of urine x 100.
Normally it is about
5%. It serves as a guide to the state of acidosis or alkalosis in the body. In
acidosis ammonium salts will be more, hence, the ratio will rise. In alkalosis
it will fall.
