Case Report

A Case of Hyperammonemia Associated with High Dihydropyrimidine Dehydrogenase Activity

Table 2

Urinary analysis of dihydrouracil and uracil.

DihydrouracilUracilRatio

Patient’s value5.325 µg/mL0.495 µg/mL10.75
Normal range [6]1.7–13.1 µg/mL4–30 µg/mL0.3–0.77

Urinary DHU/U was much higher than normal. These findings supported the high activity of dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase.
