Intractable metabolic acidosis in a child with propionic acidemia undergoing liver transplantation -a case report-
Propionic acidemia (PA) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder of metabolism caused by deficient activity of the mitochondrial enzyme propionyl-CoA carboxylase. The clinical manifestations are metabolic acidosis, poor feeding, lethargy, vomiting, osteoporosis, neurological dysfunction, pancytopenia, developmental retardation and cardiomyopathy. Liver transplantation has recently been considered...
متن کاملL-carnitine enhances excretion of propionyl coenzyme A as propionylcarnitine in propionic acidemia.
Treatment with L-carnitine greatly enhanced the formation and excretion of short-chain acylcarnitines in three patients with propionic acidemia and in three normal controls. The use of fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and linked scanning at constant magnetic (B) to electric (E) field ratio identified the acylcarnitine as propionylcarnitine in patients with propionic acidemia. The normal ...

متن کاملPropionic acidemia in the newborn.
Propionic acidemia is a rare, autosomal, recessively inherited inborn error of propionate metabolism. It presents most often as a neonatal life threatening emergency with metabolic acidosis, hyperammonemia, hyperglycinemia and hyper gylcinuria. Since its first description in a male infant with episodic metabolic acidosis and hyperglycinemia(l), more than 100 cases have been reported. The presen...
متن کاملIsolation and identification of methylcitrate, a major metabolic product of propionate in patients with propionic acidemia.
The metabolic products of propionate metabolism in man were studied by determining the pattern of isotope in the urine following the intravenous injection of [lJ%]propionate. A major peak of radioactivity not present in control subjects was found in an organic acid in two patients with propionic acidemia and a patient with methylmalonic acidemia. This labeled compound was characterized as methy...
