    The failure of amino-acid transport was reported in 1960 from the increased presence of indoles (bacterial metabolites of tryptophan) and tryptophan in the urine of patients as part of a generalized aminoaciduria of the disease. The excessive loss of tryptophan from malabsorption was the cause of the pellagra like symptoms. From studies on ...

    Hypertryptophanemia is a rare autosomal recessive [2] metabolic disorder that results in a massive buildup of the amino acid tryptophan in the blood, with associated symptoms and tryptophanuria (-uria denotes 'in the urine'). [3] [4] Elevated levels of tryptophan are also seen in Hartnup disease, [5] a disorder of amino acid transport. [6]

    Metabolites involved in the kynurenine pathway include tryptophan, kynurenine, kynurenic acid, xanthurenic acid, quinolinic acid, and 3-hydroxykynurenine. [2] [3] The kynurenine pathway is responsible for about 95% of total tryptophan catabolism. [4] Disruption in the pathway is associated with certain genetic and psychiatric disorders. [5] [2 ...

    Decreased urine output or kidney function may be the only observable symptoms caused by a blood clot renal vein.

    Very low levels of azotemia may produce few, if any, symptoms. If the disease progresses, symptoms become noticeable (if the failure is of sufficient degree to cause symptoms). Kidney failure accompanied by noticeable symptoms is termed uraemia. [18] Symptoms of kidney failure include the following: [18] [19] [20] [21]
