3 What is metabolic medicine?
AKA: Inherited Metabolic Disease/Inborn Errors of Metabolism Generally result from a single enzyme defect involved in the breakdown, storage or disposal of proteins or glucose Accounts for > 600 distinct disease entities Individually very rare but collective incidence approx 1 in 1000 Around 1000 new cases a year and 200 deaths per annum 40% of those deaths are in children

4 D A B C What is metabolic medicine? X Y
Production of alternate metabolite may result in toxicity Cofactor X Y A B C Enzyme Enzyme Accumulation of upstream metabolites may result in toxicity Reduction in important metabolite e.g. glucose

5 Reduced fasting tolerance Disturbed energy metabolism
Acute intoxication Reduced fasting tolerance Disturbed energy metabolism

6 Aims & Outcomes To review the initial management and investigation of children presenting with possible metabolic decompensation By the end of this session you should: Know when to suspect a metabolic disorder Have a structured approach to metabolic emergencies Acute intoxication Reduced fasting tolerance Disturbed energy metabolism

7 Recognising a Metabolic Emergency The Neonate
Often non-specific presentation, most commonly in a term infant May have a hour well period Presenting symptoms include: Lethargy & feeding problems Recurrent vomiting Abnormal breathing (typically  RR) Hypotonia Seizures Deterioration with normal infection Ix

8 Recognising a Metabolic Emergency after the Neonatal Period
Vomiting & lethargy progressing to coma Usually without focal neurology or organ dysfunction Profound acidosis or hypoglycaemia not in keeping with clinical history History may increase concern: Self imposed protein restriction Deterioration after new drug FHx of unexplained death in childhood Consanguineous parents/family background Hart C, Davison JE, Cleary MA Fifteen-minute consultation: Red flags for metabolic disease in routine bloods Arch Dis in Child - Educ Prac  Published Online First: 19 May 2018 doi:  /archdischild

9 Likely times of presentation
Neonatal period Weaning Increased oral intake – for example, increased protein load First exposure to a new dietary component, e.g. fructose End of first year Slowdown in growth rate means increased protein catabolism for same protein intake, thus greater pressure on pathways Infection Increased metabolic stress with decreased intake, e.g. D&V Puberty Alterations in growth rate, hormonal milieu Postnatal (i.e. as a mother) Involution of a placenta brings significant protein load, may reveal a previously asymptomatic Urea Cycle Defect Champion M. (2010). An approach to the diagnosis of inherited metabolic disease.  Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed 95: 40-46

10 Acute Intoxication

11 Acute intoxication Basic investigations may herald a metabolic cause:
Disorder leads to accumulation of toxic metabolite, e.g. ammonia (UCDs, OAs), leucine (MSUD), tyrosine Principles of management: Stop ongoing exposure (stop protein for 12–48h) Reversal of catabolism/ Promotion of anabolism Support clearance of toxin Basic investigations may herald a metabolic cause: Acid-base balance, glucose, lactate, ammonia, ketones (2nd line) acylcarnitines, plasma amino acids and urine organic acids (processed under 24 hours) : – –

12 First-line metabolic investigations
Blood Urine Glucose* Ketones (dipstick)* pH, CO2, bicarb, base deficit* Organic acids (inc Orotic A) Lactate (free flowing)* (Reducing substances) Ammonia (free flowing)* (Amino acids) Amino Acids Acylcarnitines (inc profile, total and free carnitine) LFTs inc clotting screen* Full blood count* Creatine kinase Blood Urine Champion M. (2010). An approach to the diagnosis of inherited metabolic disease.  Arch Dis Child Educ Pract Ed 95: 40-46

17 Patient CP Previously well 16-year-old boy
Worsening agitation & vomiting 2 days after a party; not normal since No history of trauma or drug use In Emergency Department: – intubated and ventilated for low GCS – CT head performed and normal Transferred to ICU, suspected meningo-encephalitis – normal lumbar puncture; slightly high pressure – BP HR, treated for seizures and raised ICP

18 Patient CP (2) Within 24 hours:
– CT suggestive of  ICP – Pupils fixed and dilated Retrieved to PICU at SGH, re-assessed: – No neurological response off sedatives – MRI: catastrophic brainstem herniation – Ammonia on admission = 3000 µmol/L Extended metabolic testing suggests UCD Formal brain death testing undertaken and organ harvest undertaken at request of parents

28 Case 3

29 Case 3 2-day-old, term infant of Bangladeshi extraction
Em LSCS for poor CTG 3rd child, two previous well children Tachypnoeic and pallor on day 3 of life Initial results revealed: - pH: pCO2: Base excess: Glucose: Lactate: 2.5

30 Retrieved to metabolic centre for further care
Case 3 - continued Ventilated to manage pCO2; minimal support required Cardiovascularly stable Received dextrose at 8mg/kg/min and requird bicarbonate corrections Ammonia: µmol/l - Acute renal impairment Retrieved to metabolic centre for further care

31 Differential Diagnosis
Hyperammonaemia Differential Diagnosis Symptoms prior to 24 hours Symptoms after 24 hours Premature Full term Metabolic acidosis present No Metabolic Acidosis or Mild Acidosis Urea Cycle Disorders Transient Hyperammonaemia of the Newborn (THAN) Pyruvate Carboxylase Deficiency Fatty Acid Oxidation Defects Organic acidaemias Assess PAA notably Citrulline Normal Absent to trace μM + ASA > 1000 μM no ASA Low/normal Orotic Acid Increased Orotic Acid HHH syndrome CPS1, NAGS OTC Arginosuccinic Aciduria Citrullinaemia Type 2

32 Other intoxication disorders
Methylmalonic/Propionic aciduria – Lead to massive ketoacidosis – Rehydrate, correct electrolyte imbalance, iv carnitine – Forced diuresis may assist in MMA – Buffering with Sodium bicarbonate may be dangerous Isovaleric acidaemia – Glycine to promote excretion of isovalerylglycine Maple Syrup Urine Disease – Promote anabolism; continue BCAA-free supplement – Supplementary valine and isoleucine required Maintain sodium > 138mmol/L Carnitine allows formation of esters which are preferentially excreted in urine and thus aid intoxification Very large doses may be required Forced diuresis only effective if well hydrated Sodium bicarbonate may be useful in milder acidosis; in more severe cases may be ineffective and risk of cerebral oedema Leucine, isoleucine and valine laid down during formation of proteins Isoleucine lower than leucine therefore will be used up; need to supplement

49 Disturbed Energy Metabolism

50 Disturbed Energy Metabolism
Includes defects of: – pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) – the Krebs cycle – the respiratory electron transport chain Typically cause chronic multisystem disease Emergency treatment required for severe acidosis and lactic acidaemia Glucose infusion may lead to an increase in lactic acid

51 Clinical features Poor fetal weight gain Low Apgars at birth
Hypotonia, poor feeding, tiredness, tachypnoea, abnormal eye movements, seziures, microcephaly Dysmorphic features (PDHC): narrow head, frontal bossing, wide nasal bridge, long filtrum, flared nostrils Disproportionate Lactic Acidosis

52 Management (medication)
Acidosis: – Sodium bicarbonate (high doses) – up to 20% of Mitochondrial Disorders associated with proximal renal tubular acidosis Lactate: – Dialysis – Dichloroacetate – activates PDHC in brain, liver and muscle Co-factor replacement: – Biotin (Multiple Carboxylase Deficiency) – Riboflavin (Multiple Acyl-CoA Dehydrogenase Deficiency) – Co-enzyme Q10, vitamin E and B vitamin complex – L-Carnitine (if low in plasma or increased esters in urine) Lowering lactate may not improve outcome

53 Disorders requiring restriction of energy turnover
Management (fluids in infants) Disorders requiring restriction of energy turnover PDHC deficiency  reduce glucose supply: glucose 5-7g/kg/day (monitor lactate) Add fat: 2–3 g/kg/day Test response to Thiamine (3 x 50–100 mg/day) Electron transport chain (OXPHOS) disorders  glucose 10 (–15) g/kg/day** Lowering lactate may not improve outcome

57 In summary Stop feeds and start 10% dextrose (almost always)
If you suspect a Metabolic Diagnosis remember to involve a specialist centre early on Use the British Inherited Metabolic Disease Group website (accessible directly or via SORT) Early recognition and appropriate management saves lives and significantly reduces long-term morbidity
