Abstract
We report successful liver transplantation in a young adult with argininosuccinic aciduria but without cirrhosis. Plasma amino acid profile normalised and brain magnetic resonance spectroscopy indicated improved metabolism post transplantation. The general well being of the patient and his quality of life have improved. We suggest that orthotopic liver transplantation should be considered for patients with Argininosuccinic aciduria even in the absence of cirrhosis with the aim of correcting (at least in part) central nervous system metabolism thereby preventing further neurological deterioration.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
