title: [Hyperlysinemia and hyperammonemia].
abstract: A quite important increase of plasma lysine was often reported in different cases of hyperammonemia. This retrospective study of patients with different types of hyperammonemia shows that hyperlysinemia is not automatically associated to hyperammonemia (lysinemia is expressed as the percent of total aminoacidemia). Hyperlysinemia was observed with neonatal propionic and methylmalonic acidurias. Reye's syndrome and to a less extent with ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.
