Strong-smelling Urine. Taken Antibiotics For UTI. Have Kidney Inflammation. Any Ideas?
HI, my left kidney feels inflammed today. I have had a strong ammonia smelling urine for a while and urine tests have said I have a UTI. I did a series of antibiotics for it and the smell disappeared while on the antibiotic and then returned once stopping. I don't have a UTI! I have no discomfort in urinating or irritation during sex. I drink 1.5 to 2ltrs of water 5-7 days a week, eat a raw salad daily, vegies at dinner and minimal meat, plenty of good quality protein. Any ideas???

Increasing your water intake and cutting down on the proteins will reduce the ammonical smell.Your doctor can investigate and guide you further.
