About us
We know Urea Cycle Disorders. We live to conquer them. The National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation is the only nonprofit organization in the world solely dedicated to saving and improving the lives of children and adults from the catastrophic effects of urea cycle disorders. Formed in 1988 by a handful of parents whose children were affected, NUCDF has grown to be an internationally recognized leader in the fight to conquer urea cycle disorders (UCD) and raise awareness that saves lives. NUCDF is the driving force behind critical research to improve the understanding and management of UCD, find new treatments, and ultimately a cure. NUCDF serves as a lifeline to UCD patients, families, and medical professionals worldwide seeking information, support, and HOPE. We partner with the Urea Cycle Disorders Consortium, an NIH-funded Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network, to advance research in this area.

Caregiving is one of the most selfless acts one can do. We know firsthand what it means to be a caregiver to someone with a urea cycle disorder. We also know that taking care of yourself is not high on the list of priorities when you’re dealing with an ill child/family member. But taking care of yourself is necessary to take care of someone else. We’ve created a new page on our website dedicated to self-care for caregivers. Check it out at https://lnkd.in/e4ZuU-tz #caregiver #caregiving #takecareofyou #selfcare #health #mentalhealth #wellness #friendlyreminder #support #resources
