U.S. Urea Cycle Disorders Treatment Market– Impact of Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
Supply chain and manufacturing activities in the U.S. have been disrupted due to lockdowns implemented by governments in the past year, and also facing problems with regards to the transportation of drug products. The coronavirus or COVID-19 outbreak that started in Wuhan, China has spread across continents, affecting various industries globally. The supply of key materials has been severely disrupted due to forced quarantine, and a lack of labor and raw materials. As the link between regional warehouses is not smooth, the transportation of raw materials between regions cannot be carried out successfully. This shortage of raw materials and components has affected the supply chain of the U.S. urea cycle disorders treatment market. Due to the severe shortage of medical resources at the front line, only patients diagnosed with serious conditions can be hospitalized. Unfortunately, the pathogenic mechanism of the virus has not been identified completely, therefore, there is no specific drug and treatment except for symptomatic and supportive treatments. Respiratory support devices such as life-support machines, atomizers, oxygen generators, and monitors are primary clinical treatment medical devices. Thus, from diagnosis to cure, the need for instruments for measuring temperature, nucleic acid diagnostic kits, antiviral medical products, and life-support machines has increased consistently. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted the global as well as the U.S. economy and in turn, the urea cycle disorders treatment market.

U.S. Urea Cycle Disorders Treatment Market - Key Players
Major players operating in the U.S. Urea Cycle Disorders Treatment market include Horizon Therapeutics Plc, Bausch Health Companies Inc, Recordati Rare Diseases Inc., Nestlé S.A., Danone S.A., Lucane Pharma SA, Acer Therapeutics Inc., Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical Inc., Aeglea Biotherapeutics, Inc., Arcturus Therapeutics Holdings Inc., Orpharma Pty Ltd., Selecta Biosciences, Inc., Abbott and Mead Johnson & Company, LLC
Definition: Urea cycle disorders (UCDs) are a group of orphan inherited defects of six enzymes and two transporters that constitute the urea cycle in the periportal liver cells that affect how the body removes the waste that is made from the breaking down of protein. The symptoms of urea cycle disorders vary in severity and result from the excessive accumulation of ammonia in the blood and body tissues called hyperammonemia. Common symptoms include lack of appetite, vomiting, drowsiness, seizures, and/or coma. In severe cases, if the urea cycle disorder the liver may be abnormally enlarged, which is called hepatomegaly
