Tyrosinaemia type 1 – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/2029519782
Tyrosinemia type 1 is an inborn error of amino acid metabolism characterised by hepatorenal manifestations. The early-onset acute form of the disorder manifests between 15 days and 3 months after birth with hepatocellular necrosis. Septicaemia is a frequent complication. Renal tubular dysfunction occurs and is associated with phosphate loss and hypophosphatemic rickets. A later onset form has also been described and manifests with vitamin-resistant rickets caused by renal tubular dysfunction.
