Tyrosinemia

Tyronsinemia is any of three conditions where the body cannot break down the amino acid tyrosine because one of the three necessary enzymes is missing. It is a genetic condition, requiring that a faulty gene be inherited from both parents. The condition affects the liver, kidneys and intellect.
In most cases, patients must be put on a diet low in animal protein. However, in severe cases, a liver transplant may be the only effective treatment.
