Urea Cycle Disorders
Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are rare genetic metabolic disorders that impair the body’s ability to remove excess ammonia. Ammonia is a waste product that your body makes when it digests protein.
People living with UCDs often suffer from ammonia buildup in the body, potentially causing brain damage, neurocognitive impairments, liver disease, coma and even death. It is important that patients adhere to lifelong treatment, which may include a protein restricted diet and medications such as nitrogen scavengers, to control ammonia levels.
