Recurrent stupor due to lysinuric protein intolerance.

چکیده
Recurrent stupor in children is an uncommon clinical problem with a wide differential diagnosis; inherited metabolic disorders account for a vast majority. We report a 9-year-old girl with recurrent episodes of stupor. Initial episode was treated as viral encephalitis and the second episode was managed as non-convulsive status epilepticus. Hyperammonemia was detected in the last episode. Metabolic work-up after dietary protein challenge revealed classical biochemical features of lysinuric protein intolerance. She was managed with protein-restricted diet, which resulted in marked neurological improvement. LPI is a rare inherited metabolic disorder due to membrane transport defect of cationic amino acids.

Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is an inborn error of metabolism which usually presents in infancy with failure to thrive and vomiting. Two patients are described who presented in adult life with hyperammonaemic coma due to LPI. Both had been underweight and had had intermittent gastrointestinal symptoms during childhood.

متن کاملFanconi syndrome with lysinuric protein intolerance
We present the case of a 9-year-old child with lysinuric protein intolerance and Fanconi syndrome. She was referred to our hospital with a persistent metabolic acidosis and polyuria. Renal investigations revealed all laboratory signs of Fanconi syndrome, with glucosuria, generalized aminoaciduria, phosphaturia and severe hypercalciuria. The diagnosis of Fanconi syndrome was confirmed by a renal...
متن کاملIntestinal absorption in lysinuric protein intolerance: impaired for diamino acids, normal for citrulline.
Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is an autosomal recessive defect of diamino acid transport characterised by massive diaminoaciduria, especially lysinuria, with hyperammonaemia after heavy nitrogen intake. The defect has previously been demonstrated in the kidney, and is probably present in the liver cells. To evaluate the effect of the LPI gene on the net intestinal absorption of the diamin...

BACKGROUND Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disease characterised by accumulation of lipoproteinaceous material within alveoli, occurring in three clinically distinct forms: congenital, acquired and secondary. Among the latter, lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is a rare genetic disorder caused by defective transport of cationic amino acids. Whole Lung Lavage (WLL) is currently ...

Lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the SLC7A7 located on the chromosome 14q11.2. LPI is most prevalent in Finland (1:50,000), Northern Japan (1:60,000) and Italy. Cases have also been reported in Spain and the United States. Here we report two siblings of Mexican descent. The older child was diagnosed at the age of three with severe...
