Urea cycle disorders are congenital diseases that are caused by a dysfunctional urea cycle. Urea cycle disorders are the result of a deficiency of one of the six enzymes that catalyze the various biochemical reactions in the urea cycle which converts ammonia to urea for removal via urine. Urea cycle disorders belong to inborn errors of metabolism that are associated with fatal brain damage and death in newborns. The diagnosis of urea cycle disorder is done by the analysis of urine and blood for abnormal metabolites such as substances produced by metabolism and high ammonia levels. Frequent blood tests are done to monitor ammonia levels. The treatment of urea cycle disorders consists of dietary management to limit ammonia production. A liver transplant can be an effective treatment for urea cycle disorder for the proper functioning of the urea cycle
