Metabolic Disorders
Inborn Errors Of Metabolism
Inborn Errors Of Metabolism (IEM)
- A large group of hereditary biochemical
diseases
- Specific gene mutation cause abnormal
or missing proteins that lead to altered
function.
2
Pathophysiology

SINGLE GENE DEFECTS in synthesis
or catabolism of proteins, carbohydrates,
or fats.

Defect in an ENZYME or TRANSPORT
PROTEIN , which results in a block in a
metabolic pathway.
Pathophysiology

EFFECTS :
- toxic ACCUMULATION of substrates before the block,
- intermediates from ALTERNATIVE pathways
- defects in ENERGY production and utilization caused
by a deficiency of products beyond the BLOCK.

Every metabolic disease has several forms that vary in AGE
OF ONSET , clinical severity and, often, MODE OF
INHERITANCE.
Metabolic Disorders
Features suggestive of metabolic disorder :
From history:
Parental history :
Consanguineous parents

First Steps in Metabolic Therapy for IEM

Reduce precursor substrate load

Provide caloric support

Provide fluid support

Remove metabolites via dialysis

Divert metabolites

Supplement with cofactor(s)
CARNITINE METABOLISM



An essential nutrient found in highest
concentration in red meat.
Primary function : Transport long-chain
fatty acids into mitochondria for oxidation.
Carnitine supplementation in fatty acid
oxidation disorders and organic acidosis may
augment excretion of accumulated
metabolites , but may not prevent metabolic
crises in such patients .
Important IEM Treatment supplements:

Carnitine for elimination of Organic Acid through
creation of carnitine esters.

Sodium Benzoate, phenylacetate and
phenylbutyrate for Hyperammonemia
elimination.

Metabolic Disorders



75
Due to inherited reduced activities of proteins
involved in the synthesis, breakdown or transport of
amino acids, organic acids, fats, carbohydrates and
complex macromolecules.
Most are autosomal recessive due to mutations that
result in reduced enzyme activity or reduced amount
of enzyme.
Pathogenesis may include: accumulation of a toxic
intermediate, reduced amount of a necessary end
product or activation of an alternate pathway.

CARNITINE METABOLISM




An essential nutrient found in highest concentration in red
meat.
Primary function : Transport long-chain fatty acids into
mitochondria for oxidation.
Primary defects of carnitine transport manifest as Reye
syndrome , cardiomyopathy or skeletal myopathy with
hypotonia
Secondary carnitine deficiency is due to diet
( esp. I.V alimentation or ketogenic diet ) , renal losses ,
drug therapy ( esp. valproic acid) and other metabolic
disorders ( esp. disorders of fatty acid oxidation and
organic acidemias )
89
CARNITINE METABOLISM




Prognosis depends on the cause of the carnitine
abnormality.
Free and esterified carnitine can be measured in
blood.
Oral or I.V. L-carnitine is used in carnitine
deficiency or lnsufficiency in doses of 25100mg/kgm/day or higher.
Carnitine supplementation in fatty acid oxidation
disorders and organic acidosis may augment
excretion of accumulated metabolites , but may not
prevent metabolic crises in such patients .

Management of IEM - NICU

urea cycle initiation), with potential for severe sequelae (20-30%
death, 30-40% abnl dev.) if not treated.
