Hereditary urea cycle abnormality

Alternative Names:

Abnormality of the urea cycle - hereditary; Urea cycle - hereditary abnormality
Prevention:

As with most inherited diseases, there is no way to absolutely prevent these disorders. Prenatal testing is available. Preimplantation genetic testing may be available for those using in vitro fertilization.

Preventing the episodes of severe illness, for example -- requiring hospitalization at times of stress, can often be managed by teamwork between parents, the affected child, and doctors.
