PURPOSE You have been invited to participate in this research because you have been diagnosed with an enzyme deficiency that results in abnormal ammonia metabolism. Due to this enzyme deficiency, you may develop high levels of ammonia in the blood which causes severe toxicity including vomiting, tiredness and coma. Dr. Robert Steiner and other physicians, who are listed above as coinvestigators and who are on the staff of the Metabolic Clinic, are participating in a national collaborative research study with Ucyclyd Pharma Inc. to help determine how to best treat people with urea cycle disorders who develop very high ammonia levels. In the event of an acute crisis, we would use an intravenous (IV) dosage form of Sodium Benzoate and Sodium Phenyl acetate to lower the elevated ammonia levels rapidly.

The ratio of N-urea/ N-urea/ N-glutamine ratio is a sensitive index of in vivo urea cycle activity, correlates with clinical everity and is a sensitive tool for evaluating efficacy of therapeutic modalities as well as for the diagnosis and management of urea cycle patients.

Male urinary system Urea cycle Alternative names Return to top Abnormality of the urea cycle - hereditary; Urea cycle - hereditary abnormality Definition Return to top The urea cycle is a metabolic cycle involving incorporation of waste nitrogen from the breakdown of dietary proteins into a form (urea) that can be removed from the body. The liver makes urea from nitrogen waste, which is then excreted in the urine. Several hereditary conditions can cause this problem. These are genetic diseases caused by a the lack of a gene to make critical enzymes needed for the urea cycle. They include:
  • ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTC) citrullinemia arginase deficiency argininosuccinic aciduria carbamyl phosphate synthetase (CPS) deficiency N-acetyl glutamate synthetase deficiency (NAGS)

    Adjunctive therapy for urea cycle disorders licensed Sodium phenylbutyrate (Ammonaps) has been licensed as an "orphan drug" for adjunctive therapy in the chronic management of urea cycle disorders. These disorders are deficiencies of carbamylphosphate synthetase, ornithine transcarbamylase or argininosuccinate synthetase.
    Sodium phenylbutyrate is indicated for all patients with neonatal onset presentation (complete enzyme deficiencies presenting within the first 28 days of life), and for patients with late onset disease (partial enzyme deficiencies, presenting after the first month of life) who have a history of hyperammanaemic encephalopathy. Orphan Europe, manufacturer of Ammonaps, says that, in the UK, around 18 babies are born with this condition each year.
    The company says that the urea cycle is a self-regenerating pathway or cycle by which all of the body's waste nitrogen is converted into urea for renal excretion. An enzyme defect in the cycle leads to a greatly reduced capacity of the cycle to metabolise waste nitrogen. This may lead to seizures, coma and death.
    Sodium phenylbutyrate, previously available on a named-patient basis, is a prodrug which is rapidly metabolised to phenyl-acetate. Phenylacetate binds to glutamine to form phenylacetylglutamine, which is then excreted by the kidney, reducing elevated plasma ammonia and glutamine levels.

    What is Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency?
    Ornithine Transcarbamylase Deficiency is part of a urea cycle disorder. A urea cycle disorder is a genetic disorder caused by a deficiency of one of the enzymes in the urea cycle. The urea cycle involves a series of biochemical steps that takes place in the liver, in which nitrogen, a component of protein, is removed from the blood and converted into urea. There are five steps to the urea cycle, each of them requiring a specific enzyme. When one of these enzymes is missing, nitrogen accumulates and is converted into ammonia, a highly toxic substance, instead of urea. Ammonia reaches the brain through the blood, where it may cause irreversible brain damage and/or death. Ornithine transcarbamylase is one of these deficiencies. Urea cycle disorders are tragic illnesses that are characterized by excessive amounts of ammonia in the blood. Without treatment, these disorders can cause behavioral disorders, mental retardation, coma, or even death.

    Genetic pathways that specify development and homeostasis: translational studies of skeletal and kidney development, and therapy for metabolic diseases
    and In contrast to developmental pathways, much basic information is already available in well studied biochemical pathways that are critical for homeostasis, such as the urea cycle. With this already in hand, we have attempted to translate the basic information into stable isotope based metabolic protocols in urea cycle patients to develop new tools for diagnosis and clinical management. By using this unique human disease model and physiologic tools that measure the in vivo activity of this pathway, we are asking questions about the interaction of the urea cycle and other biochemical pathways that constitute key gene-nutrient interactions during postnatal growth and development. The ultimate goal is to translate information from these well studied pathways into treatment. This is the focus of our gene replacement studies using helper-dependent adenoviral vectors in urea cycle disorders. An integral component of this is work focused on understanding and preventing the host innate immune response and acute toxicity associated with adenovirus treatment. The spectrum of my research program extends from gene identification in human disease, to correlating mechanisms of disease with normal biological processes, to measuring and manipulating these pathways for diagnosis and treatment in humans and in animal models.
