What causes the ammonia smell in sweat?
The ammonia smell in sweat is primarily caused by excess urea, which results from the breakdown of dietary protein into amino acids. When the liver converts nitrogen from deaminated amino acids into urea, and if this production exceeds the kidneys' ability to excrete it, the overflow is released through sweat, resulting in that sharp, acrid odor.
