Many urea cycle disorders such as the metabolism of arginine increase the discharge of orotic acid in the urine. The orotic acid test is used for differentiating between Hyperammonemia and Hereditary orotic aciduria. It also helps in differentiating between the causes of hyperammonemia. It measures the activity of ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) after controlling the protein load. It helps in identifying OTC carriers.
