ammonia smell during sweating

What would cause the body to smell like ammonia while sweating?

dear Kim,
I am afraid that i do not know what can cause an ammonia-like smell while sweating. Some patients with end stage liver disease have a unique smell called "fetor hepaticus" which may be related in part to ammonia.
