Possible etiology - Defects in the Urea cycle - Secondary hyperammonemia due to Organic acidemia - Reye syndrome ? Metabolic encephalopathy due to hyperammonemia
√ Urea biosynthesis Mitochondria Cytoplasm
Impression - Organic acidosis with increased anion gap - Reye syndrome - Hyperammonemia type 1 or 2 - Citruillinemia type 1 or 2 - Argininosuccicaciduria - Hyperarginemia Diagnostic plan - Urine Organic acid analysis & ABGA - Urine Orotic acid level - Plasma aminoacid analysis - Specific enzyme assay related with ammonia metabolism(Urea cylce) Metabolic encephalopathy due to hyperammonemia Urea cycle defect
Plasma Aminoacid analysis
Urine Aminoacid analysis
Citrullinemia Glutaminemia Beta-aminoisobutyric aciduria Citrullinemia - Type 1 : neonatal form – Argininosuccinate synthetase deficiency milder late-onset form - Type 2 : more milder form - citrin deficiency Glutaminemia - probably reflect enhanced glutamine synthesis consequent to elevated tissue ammonia level Beta-aminoisobutyric aciduria d/t thymine catabolism ??
Urine orotic acid : NEGATIVE ABGA : – 33.4 mmHg – mmHg – 20.1 mmol/L – 97.7 % 1.Citrullinemia type 1 : Late – onset form 2.Citrullinemia type 2 : Citrin deficiency FINAL DIAGNOSIS
? Unsolved problems Severe hypernatremia ? [since 2. 26] - d/t persistent lactulose enema or osmotic diuresis ? - elevated BUN/Cr level - balanced Intake/Output during ICU admission Hypertriglyceridemia ? mg/dL at adm(2.24) 306 mg/dL (2.28) 1430 mg/dL at discharge (3.17) - not evaluated other lipid profile except initial HDL/LDL 32/76 mg/dL Cause of Beta-aminoisobutyric aciduria? Molecular genetic test - Mutations in SLC25A13 on Chromosome 7q21.3- Citrullinemia type 2 - Mutation on ASS(Arginiosuccinate synthetase)- Citrullinemia type 1
