Urine Screening For Metabolic Disorders
of individuals born in the United States have a genetic or partly genetic disorder. Inborn errors of metabolism contribute significantly to this total. Although individually rare, the aggregate incidence of metabolic disease is relatively high and may be greater than 1 in 1,000 newborns. Newborn screening programs using tandem mass spectrometry that can detect approximately 20 inborn errors of metabolism typically have reported an incidence of urine tests for inborn errors of metabolism 1 in 5,000. Because there are hundreds of known metabolic conditions, the aggregate estimate seems reasonable.Relatively few metabolic diseases produce symptoms in the neonate. Many disorders, such as the sphingolipidoses, mucopolysaccharidoses, purine and pyrimidine disorders, and neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses, produce slowly progressive encephalopathies, although histologic abnormalities may be present in the fetal central nervous system by 4 to 5 months of gestation. Because inborn errors of metabolism that present in the newborn period often have nonspecific features, appropriate laboratory investigations are required to avoid misdiagnoses such as sepsis or asphyxia.Basic InvestigationsMany medical centers are not equipped to perform the specialized investigations needed to evaluate a patient in whom an inborn error of metabolism is suspected, such as detailed amino acid, organic acid, or acylcarnitine analyses. However, simple laboratory tests, including measurements of blood gases, electrolytes, glucose, lactate, and ammonia levels and basic urinalysis, often provide the initial clues to a possible underlying metabolic disease. Although the presence of a specific inborn error of metabolism cannot be confirmed until biochemical genetic laboratory results are available, a diagnosis may … View Full Text Log in using your username and password Username * Password * Forgot your user name or password?Lo

Optimal outcome for children with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) depends upon recognition of the signs and symptoms of metabolic disease, prompt evaluation, and referral to a center familiar with the evaluation and management of these disorders [1]. Delay in diagnosis may result in acute metabolic decompensation, progressive neurologic injury, or death.This topic provides an overview of the evaluation for children with suspected IEM. Confirmation of diagnosis of specific disorders typically requires specialized testing and should be undertaken in consultation with a specialist in genetics or metabolic diseases. The classification, most common presentations, and initial evaluation and management of IEM, particularly those that present as metabolic emergencies, are discussed separately, as are individual disorders. (See "Inborn errors of metabolism: Classification" and "Inborn errors of metabolism: Epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical features" and "Inborn errors of metabolism: Metabolic emergencies".)NEWBORN SCREENINGA newborn may present with a positive newborn screen for inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) before clinical manifestations are present or recognized.

The disorders cited as examples were all adult onset disorders. Today there are over 200 known inborn errors of metabolism; however, the vast majority of cases reported are of childhood onset (<16 years of age). In part this may reflect the fact that the paediatric forms of the disease are more severe and hence more easily recognisable. However, in some cases it may be due to a lack of awareness by physicians treating adults of the possibility of inborn errors of metabolism being a cause of disease. Certainly, current experience of inborn errors of metabolism leads us to think that, potentially, every disorder has a milder form with a later onset. In an attempt to increase awareness of adult onset inborn errors of metabolism this article reviews the disorders which can present at or older than 16 years of age with CNS or neuromuscular disease. We have included disorders in which the patient may present with mild or “soft” signs before that age, which are likely to b
