Urea Cycle Disorder (UCD) is a genetic condition that affects the body's ability to remove ammonia, a toxic byproduct of protein metabolism. Normally, the liver converts ammonia into urea, which is then excreted in urine. In individuals with UCD, a deficiency in one of the enzymes involved in this process leads to the accumulation of ammonia in the bloodstream, which can cause serious health issues. Symptoms of UCD can include vomiting, confusion, seizures, and lethargy, particularly after consuming protein-rich foods. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage the condition, often involving a low-protein diet and medications to help remove ammonia. Regular monitoring and support from healthcare professionals are essential for those affected by Urea Cycle Disorder.
