Hyperlysinuria

Hyperlysinuria is marked by high amounts of the amino acid lysine in the urine.[1] It is often due to a metabolic disease in which a protein involved in the breakdown of lysine is non functional due to a genetic mutation.[2] It may also occur due to a failure of renal tubular transport.[2]
