ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To evaluate the efficacy and safety of glyceryl phenylbutyrate (GPB) therapy for patients with Ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency (OTCD).@*METHODS@#Two children with OTCD were selected as the study subjects, and their clinical manifestations, blood ammonia, liver enzymes, growth and development information following the treatment with GPB were retrospectively analyzed. A literature review was also carried out by searching the PubMed database for studies on the GPB treatment for urea cycle disorders.@*RESULTS@#With the GPB treatment, the blood ammonia and liver enzyme level in both patients have decreased to the normal range within 3 months. Motor development in child 2 has improved. No adverse reaction was noted, except for transient palmar greasy smell and loss of appetite in child 1. Analysis of the literature showed that patients had lower ammonia exposure, lower annual incidence of hyperammonemic crisis, more actual protein intake and fewer adverse events during GPB treatment.@*CONCLUSION@#GPB is safe and effective for the treatment of OTCD.
