Succinyl Acetone Urine Test
Also known as: Succinylacetone - Quantitative, Urine**
Overview
Succinyl acetone is a metabolite that is derived from the metabolism of the amino acid tyrosine. It is produced in the liver as a byproduct of the enzyme deficiency known as tyrosinemia type I, which is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase. Due to this enzyme deficiency, the breakdown of tyrosine is impaired, leading to the accumulation of toxic metabolites, including succinyl acetone.
