Disease Description

Hereditary urea cycle abnormality is an inherited condition. It can cause problems with the removal of waste from the body in the urine. People with a urea cycle disorder are missing a gene that makes the enzymes needed to break down ammonia in the body. (Source: NIH; US National Library of Medicine)
