What kind(s) of specialist(s) would be able to diagnose & treat glutamate metabolism disorders and nitrogen metabolism disorders?

It takes a keen eye: And a high index of suspicion from a general or family practitioner or internist to diagnose these metabolic conditions because the symptoms are non- specific - nausea., fatigue , lethargy , vomiting etc. Then a referral to a medical geneticist and/ or hepatologist is warranted to confirm the diagnosis -achieved through blood work and/or liver biopsy.
