Diagnosis and Treatment of Tyrosinemia Type III!
Diagnosis
- Elevated levels of tyrosine in plasma
- Increased excretion of tyrosine metabolites such as 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, 4-hydroxyphenyllactate and 4-hydroxyphenylacetate
- Enzyme assay of liver or kidney biopsy
- Mutation analysis
4-hydroxyphenylacetate
Management
1) Dietary restrictions
- Reduce intake of phenylalanine and tyrosine in diet
- However, it is unknown whether lowering the tyrosine levels in plasma can alter the natural history of intellectual disability
