We will continue to share the importance of this unseen threat.

Delayed diagnosis of hyperammonemia can lead to neurological damage or death.

Zoey was a beautiful, spirited 19 year old with a bright future who lost her life suddenly at age 19 from an undiagnosed urea cycle disorder, OTC deficiency. A simple, inexpensive blood ammonia test could have saved Zoey's life. #UCD #CheckAmmonia
