Argininosuccinic Aciduria (ASA)
Patients with urea cycle disorders cannot convert nitrogen in the form of ammoniainto urea. Build up of ammonia is toxic and can cause brain damage.

Extractions: All of the disorders listed above have a common thread. Each disorder is a metabolic disorder requiring a low protein diet along with strict medical supervision. Together we can make a difference as we reach out and across to one another For Links and support group information, Please click here For low protein recipes see this site: Mansfield, MA 02048 Home Research Resources Disorders ... Disorders Homocystinuria Homocystinuria is a metabolic disorder caused by a defective enzyme (cystathionine synthetase) needed to digest the amino acid in protein called methionine. Once diagnosed, the initial treatment would be changing the baby formula to a special medical formula, which does not contain methionine. Along with the medical formula the child will maintain a low protein/low methionine diet for life. Some of the more dominant systems of HCU include mental retardation, ectopia lentis (dislocation of the lenses of the eye), osteoporosis, delays in reaching developmental milestones, the formation of blood clots that may lead to life-threatening complications.

FAQ Periflex Formula for PKU "off taste" Problem Dear Periflex Customers, SHS has experienced sensory differences in some samples of two batches of our formula, Periflex unflavored (Code 11402), specifically batch numbers #03294 and #03331. Some samples of these two batches have an "off-taste". Both batches passed full microbiological testings and are safe to consume. Additional testing indicates that the off-taste of these two batches is due to degradation of the fat component. The reason for this problem has not yet been determined. If you experience difficulties with your Periflex unflavored formula, please contact our Nutrition Information Department at 1-800-636-2283 and speak to one of our Nutrition Specialists. It is our policy to follow-up each product complaint by contacting our customers directly. We apologize for any inconvenience this problem might have caused. Please be assured that SHS is committed to providing safe products of the highest quality to our customers.

Extractions: January 31, 2002 COLUMBUS As of today, Ohio newborns will be screened for 12 disorders before leaving the hospital. The Ohio Department of Health (ODH) has added five new disorders to the seven previously covered in the states newborn screening panel. "Finding these problems early is key," said ODH Director J. Nick Baird, M.D. "Identifying these disorders in the infant's first few days of life, when they are treatable, can help prevent serious complications." By adding the five disorders, ODH is following the recommendations of the Ohio Newborn Screening Advisory Committee, comprised of experts in the fields of pediatric endocrinology, metabolism, genetics and other health specialties. Newborn screening has been recognized as one of the 50 most successful public health programs of the 20 th century, Baird said. ODH has had a newborn screening program since 1965. The new tests screen for three organic acidemia disorders and two urea cycle disorders. The organic acidemia disorders include isovaleric acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia and propionic acidemia. The urea cycle disorders are citrullinemia and argininosuccinic aciduria.

National PKU News: Reimbursement For Medical Foods For Inborn Errors Of Metaboli
isovaleric acidemia and other disorders of leucine metabolism, glutaric acidemiatype I and tyrosinemia types I and II, and urea cycle disorders are rare
http://web47.radiant.net/~pkunews/rights/AAPC.htm

Extractions: Statement by the American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Nutrition This is a statement from the American Academy of Pediatrics, supporting reimbursement for medical foods (formulas) used for treatment of inborn errors of metabolism. Potential uses of this statement: advocating for legislation and/or convincing insurance carriers to cover medical foods. The recommendations in this policy statement do not indicate an exclusive course of treatment or procedure to be followed. Variations, taking into account individual circumstances, may be appropriate. Inborn errors of amino acid metabolism such as phenylketonuria, maternal phenylketonuria, maple syrup urine disease, homocystinuria, methylmalonic acidemia, propionic acidemia, isovaleric acidemia and other disorders of leucine metabolism, glutaric acidemia type I and tyrosinemia types I and II, and urea cycle disorders are rare diseases that are treatable by diet. Treatment might include the restriction of one or more amino acids, the restriction of total nitrogen, or the supplementation of specific substances. Untreated, these diseases culminate in severe mental retardation or death. Once diagnosis is confirmed, treatment of amino acid and urea cycle disorders must be carefully monitored by a physician with expertise in metabolic diseases. Special medical foods, commercially available, are indispensable for the active, ongoing treatment of diagnosed amino acid and urea cycle disorders. Special medical foods would, if used as the sole dietary source, represent a hazard to affected and healthy children. US Public Law (Publ L) 100-290 defines the term medical food as ". . . a food which is formulated to be consumed or administered enterally under the supervision of a physician and which is intended for the specific dietary management of a disease or condition for which distinctive nutritional requirements, based on recognized scientific principles, are established by medical evaluation."
