UREA CYCLE DISORDERS urea cycle disorders. urea cycle disorders (UCD) are a group of inherited conditions, characterised by enzyme deficiencies of the urea cycle. http://www.shsweb.co.uk/metabolic/3132/products/UREACYCLE.htm
Extractions: UREA CYCLE DISORDERS Urea Cycle Disorders (UCD) are a group of inherited conditions, characterised by enzyme deficiencies of the urea cycle. The result is waste nitrogen accumulating as ammonia and glutamine, both of which are neurotoxic and may cause severe encephalopathy. The aim of dietary management is to restrict dietary protein by means of a low protein diet. The protein requirements are met by supplementing the diet with an essential amino acid mixture if necessary. Dialamine A palatable orange flavoured powder containing 30% essential amino acids and carbohydrate which when mixed with water provides a pleasant tasting drink. Dialamine may be used for oral and tube feeding where essential amino acid supplementation is required. Dialamine may be used for conditions requiring a controlled nitrogen intake.

NAGS is one of six enzymes that play a role in the break down and removal of nitrogen from the body, a process known as the urea cycle.

Argininosuccinic Aciduria (ASA) Argininosuccinic Aciduria (ASA) A Urea Cycle Disorder. Patients with urea cycle disorders cannot convert nitrogen in the form of ammonia into urea. http://www.savebabies.org/diseasedescriptions/asa.php
Extractions: Argininosuccinic Aciduria (ASA) is a disorder of the urea cycle. Patients with urea cycle disorders cannot convert nitrogen in the form of ammonia into urea. Build up of ammonia is toxic and can cause brain damage. Nitrogen in ammonia comes from protein in the food we eat or the breakdown of protein from the muscle when we are sick. Without the urea cycle, ammonia will build up to dangerous levels when we take in too much protein or when we are sick. ASA is one of the urea cycle disorders and is caused by deficiency of an enzyme called argininosuccinic acid lyase in the body. This prevents the conversion of argininosuccinic acid (ASA) into arginine. The build up in ASA if too high ultimately causes a build up in ammonia. At the same time, arginine may be deficient. Inheritance and Frequency The gene defect for ASA is an autosomal recessive genetic trait and is unknowingly passed down from generation to generation. This faulty gene only emerges when two carriers have children together and pass it to their offspring. For each pregnancy of two such carriers, there is a 25% chance that the child will be born with the disease and a 50% chance the child will be a carrier for the gene defect.
