What is Arginase Blood Test?

Arginase deficiency belongs to a type of genetic diseases called urea cycle disorders. The urea cycle is a sequence of reactions that occurs in liver cells. This cycle processes excess nitrogen, generated when protein is used by the body, to make a compound called urea that is excreted by the kidneys.

Other Names

• ARG1 deficiency
• Argininemia
• Arginase deficiency disease
• Hyperargininemia

Why done? 

Mutations in the ARG1 gene cause arginase deficiency.

Arginase deficiency confirms a defect in the urea cycle. Ammonia, which forms when the body breaks down proteins, is toxic if levels get too high. The nervous system is particularly sensitive to the effects of excess ammonia.
