Inborn Errors of Metabolism
• IEM as a group are not rare: occur 1 in 5000 births
collectively
• Often treatable if diagnosed
• Most difficult task for clinician is to know when to
consider IEM and which tests to order for evaluation
• Don’t be fooled--other diagnoses like sepsis, ICH, pulm.
hem. may accompany IEM
• Clues to presence of IEM may often be found in FH

“Stumbling Blocks” in Diagnosing
Inborn Errors of Metabolism
• Signs and symptoms are often nonspecific
– Routine childhood illnesses excluded 1st
– Inborn errors considered only secondarily
• Unfamiliarity with biochemical
interrelationships/ diagnostic tests
– Inappropriate sample collection
– Inappropriate sample storage
• Every child with unexplained . . .
– Neurological deterioration
– Metabolic acidosis
– Hypoglycemia
– Inappropriate ketosis
– Hypotonia
– Cardiomyopathy
– Hepatocellular dysfunction
– Failure to thrive
. . . should be suspected of having a metabolic
disorder
When to suspect an IEM
• Infants have only a limited repertoire of symptoms--sxs
non-specific
– Vomiting, lethargy, FTT, sz’s, resp (tachypnea,
hyperpnea, apnea), coma, cardiomyopathy
– Odor, abnormal hair, dysmorphology
• Labs: metabolic acidosis, hypoglycemia,
hyperammonemia, reducing substances in urine,
ketonuria, pancytopenia
• Not all infants with life threatening IEM have either
acidosis or hyperammonemia (i.e. non-ketotic
hyperglycinemia, mild lactate elev).
Laboratory Assessment of Neonates
Suspected of Having an
Inborn Error of Metabolism
Routine Studies
Blood lactate and
pyruvate
Complete blood count
and differential
Plasma ammonia
Plasma glucose
Plasma electrolytes and
blood pH
Urine ketones
Urine-reducing
substances
Special Studies
Plasma amino acids
Plasma carnitine
Urine amino acids
Urine organic acids
“Waiting until sepsis and other
more common causes of illness
are ruled out before initiating a
specific diagnostic evaluation is
inadvisable, as is indiscriminate
study of all ill newborns for
metabolic disorders.”
Clinical Symptomatology of Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM) in the
Neonate or Infant
Symptoms indicating possibility of an IEM (one or all)
Infant becomes acutely ill after period of normal behavior and feeding;
this may occur within hours or weeks
Neonate or infant with seizures and/or hypotonia, especially if seizures
are intractable
Neonate or infant with an unusual odor
Symptoms indicating strong possibility of an IEM, particularly when coupled
with the above symptoms
Persistent or recurrent vomiting
Failure to thrive (failure to gain weight or weight loss)
Apnea or respiratory distress (tachypnea)
Jaundice or hepatomegaly
Lethargy
Coma (particularly intermittent)
Unexplained hemorrhage
Family history of neonatal deaths, or of similar illness, especially in
siblings
Parental consanguinity
Sepsis (particularly Escherichia coli)
Physical Anomalies Associated With Acute-Onset Inborn Errors of Metabolism (IEM)

cortical cysts)

Renal cysts, facial dysmorphia
Facial dysmorphia

First Steps in Metabolic Therapy for
Inborn Errors of Metabolism
•
•
•
•
•
•
Reduce precursor substrate load
Provide caloric support
Provide fluid support
Remove metabolites via dialysis
Divert metabolites
Supplement with cofactor(s)
Therapeutic Measures for IEM
• D/C oral intake temporarily
• Usually IVF’s with glucose to give 12-15 mg/kg/min glu
and at least 60 kcal/kg to prevent catabolism (may
worsen PDH)
• Bicarb/citrate
Carnitine/glycine
• Na benzoate/arginine/citrulline
• Dialysis--not exchange transfusion
• Vitamins--often given in cocktails after labs drawn
before dx is known
– Biotin, B6, B12, riboflavin, thiamine, folate
Treatment of the Acutely Sick Child
General Therapy
• Maintain vital functions
– Oxygenation
– Hydration
– Acid/Base balance
Specific Therapy
• Treat infection
• High dose I.V. glucose
• Carnitine supplementation
STRIVE TO IDENTIFY PRIMARY METABOLIC DISORDER
TREATMENT OF GENETIC
DISEASES
• MODIFY ENVIRONMENT, e.g., diet, drugs
• SURGICAL, correct or repair defect or organ
transplantation
• MODIFY OR REPLACE DEFECTIVE GENE
PRODUCT, megadose vitamin therapy or
enzyme replacement
• REPLACE DEFECTIVE GENE
• CORRECT ALTERED DNA IN DEFECTIVE
GENE
Newborn Screening
• PKU - must do on all infants in NICU even if not
advanced to full feeds
