ReviewProceedings of a consensus conference for the management of patients with urea cycle disorders.
In an effort to develop standards for the treatment of patients with urea cycle disorders, a consensus conference was held in Washington, DC, from April 27-29, 2000. Conference participants included physicians, scientists, nurses, dieticians, and a genetic counselor, all experts in their various medical fields in these diseases. Representatives from the Food and Drug Administration and the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation, a parents support group, also participated in the conference. ⋯ As the reader will appreciate, many unresolved and controversial issues pertaining to treatment have yet to be studied by rigorous scientific methods. On the other hand, there are many issues on which the panel agreed. In many instances the availability of reliable information on the respective topics determined whether consensus could be reached.
