Cirrosis Hepática como forma de presentación de Tirosinemia tipo 1

Abstract

Inherited tyrosinemia type I (THI) or hepato-renal tyrosinemia is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the deficiency of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase, that occurs in the liver cell cytosol; as a result of this deficiency, succinylacetone is formed, which is the metabolite that confirms the diagnosis.
In addition, they have elevated tyrosine and methionine in blood and urine.
With a variable clinical picture, it can manifest itself from a severe neonatal form until late or chronic asymptomatic presentation. Rapid diagnosis and nutritional management are important for evolution. The case presented is confirmed as chronic tyrosinemia I
