title: [Protein intolerance with lysinuria. Value of orotic aciduria in adjusting treatment with citrulline].
abstract: A new case of lysinuric protein intolerance is described in a 14 year-old Maghrebian child who presented with growth failure, vertebral osteoporosis, aversion to proteins and digital hippocratism, rarely described in this disease. Orotic aciduria was studied after a protein load with and without citrulline supplement and during the course of a 11 month-treatment. There was a clear relationship between orotic aciduria, protein intake and citrulline supplementation. Orotic aciduria appears to be very useful to adjust the treatment.
