Dicarboxylic aciduria

What it means

An increased concentration of dicarboxylic acid in the urine.

A dicarboxylic acid is an oxoacid containing two carboxy groups. Dicarboxylic aciduria occurs during increased mobilization or inhibited beta-oxidation of fatty acids, where a number of 3-hydroxydicarboxylic acids are excreted in the urine.
