Q

warfarin

A

hypoplastic nose with a deep goroove between the nasal alaeand the nasal tip, stippling of the epiphyses

22
Q

chronic progressive symptoms (in a baby with IEM) points to what?

A

mitochondrial disorders

23
Q

presenting symptoms of IEM might be similar to what?

A

sepsis

24
Q

initial lab eval for suspected IEM

A

assessment for metabolic acidosis and elevated serum ammonia

25
Q

FAO defect, then avoid what?

A

lipids

26
Q

how to correct acidosis?

A

sodium bicarb

27
Q

how to correct hyperammonemia?

A

sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate increase ammonia excretion

28
Q

oral neosporin and lactulose

A

prevent bacterial production of ammonia in the colon

29
Q

if all else fails, how do you correct electrolyte abnormalities?

A

dialysis

30
Q

mousy/musty odeor

A

phenylketonuria (PKU)

31
Q

sweet maple syrup odor

A

maple syrup urine disease

32
Q

sweaty feet odor

A

isovaleric or glutaric acidemia

33
Q

rotten cabbage odor

A

hereditary tyrosinemia

34
Q

presence of ketones in the urine of newborns

A

is very suspicious for IEM because normally newborns do not make ketones very well

35
Q

absence of ketones in the urine of older children

A

absence of ketones and hypoglycemia is suspicious for FAO defect

36
Q

if urine reducing substance is positive, then what?

A

dipstick for glucose; if glucose neg, then possibly galactosemia

37
Q

if metabolic acidosis is presnt, what tests do you run

A

serum lactat and pyruvate looking for lactic acidemia or organic acidemia; also check for plasma Aas to rule or aminoacidemias or organic acidemias

38
Q

if incr ammonia is present, what labs do you run?

A

plasma Aas and urine organic acids (if elevated orotic acid, suspect OTC def)

39
Q

homocysteinuria caused by defect in what

A

cystathionine synthase

40
Q

clinical features of homocysteinuria

A

marfanoid body habitus without arachnodactyly; downward lens subluxation (as opposed to up in marfans); hypercoaguable; CV abnormalities; scoliosis, developmental delay

41
Q

how to dx homocysteinuria

A

increased methionine in urine and plasma or pos urinary cyanid e nitroprusside test

42
Q

management of homocystienuria

A

methionine restricted diet, aspirin, and folic acid and vit B6 supp

43
Q

transient tyrosinemia of the newborn

A

occurs in premature infants w high protein diets; poor feeding or lethargy

44
Q

dx of transient tyrosinemia of the newborn

A

elevated serum tyrosine and phenylalanine

45
Q

management of transient tyrosinemia of the new born

A

decreasing protein intake during the acute episode; vit C may help elminiate tyrosine

46
Q

prognosis of transient tyrosinemia of the newborn

A

good; self-limited disease that resolves within 1 month

47
Q

cystinuria

A

defect in renal reabsoption of cstine, lysine, arginine, and ornithine that leads to renal stones;

defect in transport of neutral Aas; most are asymptomatic

50
Q

urea cycle defects manifested ow?

A

elevated ammonia over 200 micromolar
