Abstract
We describe a simple method for measuring orotic acid and uracil concentration in urine by capillary zone electrophoresis in 20 mM Na-borate buffer, pH 9.2. The method was applied for studying a patient with HHH (hyperomithinemia, hyperammonemia and homocitrullinuria) syndrome. A high value of uracil excretion was found during periods of relatively low orotic acid excretion and normal ammonemia. The orotic acid level in urine was increased by increasing protein intake.Entities:
