Renal Involvement in Methylmalonic Aciduria
True positive result denotes correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. True negative result 1⁄4 incorrect placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound and chest radiography. False positive result 1⁄4 correct placement of hemodialysis catheter according to bubble-enhanced ultrasound not confirmed by che...
متن کاملMouse Models for Methylmalonic Aciduria
Methylmalonic aciduria (MMA) is a disorder of organic acid metabolism resulting from a functional defect of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase (MCM). MMA is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, thus therapies are necessary to help improve quality of life and prevent renal and neurological complications. Transgenic mice carrying an intact human MCM locus have been produced. Four separate t...
متن کاملTreatment Approach of a Patient Affected by Both Argininosuccinic Aciduria and Methylmalonic Aciduria
Most of the inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) are autosomal recessively inherited and they are more frequent in the countries where consanguineous marriages are commonly practiced. Rarely, more than one IEM are seen in the siblings of one family or in the same sibling. Here we report a patient with both argininosuccinic aciduria (ASA) and methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) and our therapeutic approac...
متن کاملEarly-onset combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria: neuroradiologic findings.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Combined methylmalonic aciduria and homocystinuria (MMA-HC) is caused by impaired hepatic conversion of dietary cobalamin to methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin, resulting in decreased activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase and methionine synthase. Patients with the early-onset variety present within 12 months of age with severe neurologic, hematologic, and gastrointestin...
متن کاملArgininosuccinic aciduria: clinical and biochemical phenotype findings in Malaysian children.
Argininosuccinic aciduria is an inborn error of the urea cycle caused by deficiency of argininosuccinate lyase (ASL). ASL-deficient patients present with progressive intoxication due to accumulation of ammonia in the body. Early diagnosis and treatment of hyperammonemia are necessary to improve survival and prevent long-term handicap. Two clinical phenotypes have been recognized--neonatal acute...
