Abstract
Continuous venovenous hemofiltration was used to treat two neonates, one with maple syrup urine disease and the other with an inborn error of long-chain fatty acid oxidation. The latter infant had hypoglycemia, hyperammonemia and lactic acidosis. In both cases, acceptable biochemical control was achieved within 8 hours. This therapy offers the potential to overcome acute crises rapidly in a wide range of inborn errors of intermediary metabolism.Entities:
