1. What is Ucedane and what is it used for

Ucedane can help eliminate excessive plasma levels of ammonia (high blood ammonia levels). Ammonia is especially toxic to the brain and can cause, in severe cases, a decrease in the level of consciousness and coma.

Hyperammonemia can be due to

  • the lack of a specific liver enzyme, N-acetylglutamate synthase. Patients with this rare disorder are unable to eliminate nitrogen waste, which increases after eating proteins.

This disorder persists throughout the patient's life, so this treatment is necessary for life.

  • isovaleric acidemia, methylmalonic acidemia, or propionic acidemia. Patients who suffer from one of these disorders need treatment during the hyperammonemia crisis.
