Examples of diseases or patient health conditions that are related to the amount of tyrosine in the urine.
- Low tyrosine in urine: Parkinson's disease, depression (due to tyrosine deficiency), albinism (genetic disorder), phenylketonuria (PKU), tyrosinemia (metabolic hereditary disorders)
- Possible increased tyrosine in urine: Pigment disorders (freckles, brown spots), diabetes, stomach ulcers and gastritis
- Increased amount of tyrosine in urine: Malignant tumors: mainly include malignant tumors of the digestive tract (cancer of the stomach, intestines), liver cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer, malignant lymphomas, breast cancer, gynecological malignant tumors, lung cancer, etc.
