A number of IMDs are treated with 'nutraceutical' products, non pharmaceutical supplements that are said to have a therapeutic benefit. However, not all supplements are equal and sometimes they not be what they claim to be. #BIMDG2025

Fascinating (and entertaining) presentation from Simon Tapley about trying to support a patient with a Urea Cycle Disorder to undertake an endurance sporting event. There were technical challenges of assessing ammonia rise in response to exercise, alongside other difficulties

Simon high-lights this report from 2018 of a patient who was found ataxic at 30km of a marathon and subsequently passed away. Their liver was transplanted to an individual who subsequently developed acquired OTC deficiency. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… #BIMDG2025
