Urea cycle disorder is a genetic disorder that prevents the body from removing ammonia from the blood stream.
Ammonia is a toxic substance that causes irreversible brain damage or death when it reaches the brain.
Metabolic stressors, including high protein intake, excessive exercising and dieting, can create excessive ammonia in the body.
The disorder is caused by a mutation of one of the six enzymes responsible for the urea cycle.
These enzymes are responsible for removing ammonia from the blood stream.
The urea cycle involves a series of biochemical steps in which nitrogen, a waste product of protein breakdown in the body, is removed from the blood and converted to a compound called urea.
Normally, the urea is transferred into the urine and removed from the body.
In urea cycle disorders, the nitrogen accumulates in the form of ammonia, a highly toxic substance, resulting in elevated blood ammonia.
With that disease, how did she survive until 25?
“Meegan’s death certificate lists “intake of bodybuilding supplements” “
IOW, a needle was used and she was stacking 10 different varieties of bull test, HGH, etc.
she should have dined with Trump occasionally.
How many grams of protean was she taking in daily? The max should be no more than 60grams in any form.
Next time someone tells me they were bedridden with double ammonia I’ll take them seriously.
I prefer my protein from a nice juicy rare steak.
You know the old joke... The unhealthiest people at a bodybuilding contest are the ones up on stage.

Hold on now. That killed her right there. Competing in competitions is deadly. Extremism kills.
The Extremily Extreme Extremist here, would have to agree.
Two of my relatives are dying from running competitions.
RIP.
Interesting. There was an article posted on FR yesterday about a link between Urea buildup and dementia.
You’ll live longer if you consume a breakfast of black coffee and cigarettes.
Condolences to family and friends of Meegan Hefford.
Wife and I watched a Chicago Med with a similar case except the patient was a vegan with that abnormality. She restricted her diet so much, her body began feeding on her own muscle...digesting the protein and releasing ammonia which eventually led to her brain death.
First I’ve ever heard of that situation.
