What is Hyperornithinemia-Hyperammonemia-Homocitrullinuria (HHH) Test?

The condition hyperornithinemia-hyperammonemia-homocitrullinuria syndrome (HHH) occurs when the body is unable to process and eliminate ammonia. Because ammonia is produced when the body breaks down proteins in food into their basic building blocks, it is considered an amino acid condition (amino acids). When the body's waste removal process is disrupted, dangerous levels of ammonia begin to accumulate in the blood. If untreated, this can lead to developmental delays, learning disabilities, or stiffness caused by abnormal muscle tensing (spasticity).

Many of the serious symptoms and outcomes of HHH can be avoided with early detection and treatment through new born screening and treatment.
