Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are an unusual genetic condition that may lead to hyperammonemia in catabolic situations such as surgery, infections or chemotherapy administration. Without specific treatment, it causes life-threatening encephalopathy. We present the case of a young woman, heterozygous carrier of ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD) with breast cancer, who was treated with surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and hormone therapy while following a protocol to minimize the risk of metabolic decompensation due to her condition.
尿素循环障碍(UCDs)是一种罕见的遗传疾病,在手术、感染或化疗等分解代谢情况下可能导致高氨血症。若不进行特殊治疗,会引发危及生命的脑病。我们报告一例年轻女性病例,她是鸟氨酸转氨甲酰酶缺乏症(OTCD)的杂合子携带者,患有乳腺癌,在接受手术、化疗、放疗和激素治疗的同时,遵循一项方案以将因其病情导致代谢失代偿的风险降至最低。
