Disclosure Nothing to disclose concerning this lecture
Organic acid? R C O OH R= carbon containing chain
Organic aciduria (acidemia) Any disorder which accumulates organic acids in excess in the urine (aciduria) Any disorder which accumulate organic acids in excess in the blood (acidemia) Usually due to abnormal breakdown of amino acids

Isovaleric Acidemia Can be mild, but decompensations can have hyperammonemia, coma, death Isovaleryl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency Markers are isovalerylglycine, 3-hydroxyisovaleric acid, isovalerylcarnitine (C5) IVD July 11, 2018
Cerebral Organic acidurias Glutaric aciduria 1 Macrocephaly, strokes, movement disorders Glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase (GCDH) Increased glutaric acid, 3- hydroxyglutaric acid, C5DC
Current therapeutic recommendations
Therapies for Organic acidemias Reverse Catabolism/avoid catabolism Decrease exposure Scavenge toxins Replace the non-manufactured Co-factors (Research: fix the enzyme function)
Therapies for Organic acidemias Reverse catabolism/avoid catabolism Dextrose at 6-10 mg/kg/min ~ D10+electrolytes at 1.5 maintenance Adequate fluids and calories Adequate protein/fat/cho Decrease exposure Decreased amino acid which cannot break down Metabolic diets protein restriction
Therapies for Organic acidemias Reverse Catabolism/avoid catabolism Decrease exposure Scavenge toxins Nitrogen scavengers Dialysis/ECMO Levocarnitine Glycine
Therapies for Organic acidemias Reverse Catabolism/avoid catabolism Decrease exposure Scavenge toxins Replace the non-manufactured Anaplerotic therapies (bicitra)
Therapies for Organic acidemias Reverse Catabolism/avoid catabolism Decrease exposure Scavenge toxins Replace the non-manufactured Co-factors Cobalamin Biotin Thiamine
Therapies for Organic acidemias Reverse Catabolism/avoid catabolism Decrease exposure Scavenge toxins Replace the non-manufactured Co-factors (Research: fix the enzyme function) You will hear plenty of this in next talks
Therapy for PA* Acute Reverse catabolism D10 electrolytes at 1.5 M Intralipid +/- Hold protein 24h? Scavenge toxins Carnitine ECMO/Dialysis Nitrogen scavengers Cofactor Biotin? Chronic Diet: avoid prolonged fasting, protein restriction with supplemental non-propiogenic amino acid Levocarnitine Nitrogen scavengers (e.g. sodium benzoate) Screening and standard treatments for underlying long term complications Maybe Liver transplant *Every patient is different so there are some variation in specifics
Therapy for MMA (without HCU)* Acute Reverse catabolism D10 electrolytes at 1.5 M Intralipid +/- Hold protein 24h? Scavenge toxins Carnitine ECMO/Dialysis Nitrogen scavengers Cofactor Cobalamin (hydroxocobalamin IM/IV) Chronic Diet: avoid prolonged fasting, protein restriction with supplemental non-propiogenic amino acid Levocarnitine Nitrogen scavengers (e.g. sodium benzoate) Hydroxocobalamin (IM, IV, SC) Screening and standard treatments for underlying long term complications Maybe Renal/Liver transplant * Every patient is different so there are some variation in specifics
Therapy for Cobalamin C and D1* Acute Reverse/prevent catabolism: Avoid dehydration Hydroxocobalamin IM/IV +/- Levocarnitine Chronic Hydroxocobalamin (SC/IM/IV) (NDC:0591-2888) Betaine No proven benefit for folate/folinic acid, L- carnitine, and methionine Avoid: Nitrous oxide *Every patient is different so there are some variation in specifics
IVA
Therapy for IVA* Acute Reverse catabolism: rehydration and calories Decrease protein for 24 hours Scavenge: Levocarnitine and glycine Chronic Protein restriction Levocarnitine Glycine *Every patient is different so there are some variation in specifics
GA1
Therapy for GA1* Acute Aggressive and early (illness, surgery, immunizations) Reverse catabolism: dextrose + electrolyte fluids (1.5 M) Scavenge: levocarnitine Treat fevers Chronic Sequencing is helpful Low lysine diet +/- Metabolic diet with lysine free and +/- low tryptophan formula up to 6 years Levocarnitine Glycine If surgery, a plan *Every patient is different so there are some variation in specifics
GA1: what do you need? Know disease Inform/educate local hospital ER letter (with initiation of acute treatment protocol instructions) Plan for holidays Inform you metabolic provider of fevers >38.5C (~101), vomiting, diarrhea, surgery.
Why registries? Rare Disorders No one institution has more than a few patients Disease management has been trial and error Understanding of disorder is based on rare/unusual, really frequent and/or severe complications/presentations The above guidelines are mostly based on opinion
There are more than one kind of registry Deep dive, few individual patients Less specific, many patients Patient driven
Registries help advance treatment
Our registry Sponsored with NORD YOU put in the data (eventually you can invite your medical provider to supplement it) YOU can participate in the maintenance/next steps
What can a registry do for us? Can determine Frequency Variability Co-morbid conditions Pre-condense Expertise Patients Care givers July 11, 2018
How do we use a registry? Registry in this context allows us to: Identify complications which are seen Identify medications that are used Dietary history Registry may allow us to: Natural History Frequency of disease Timing of complications Genotype/phenotype correlations July 11, 2018
What is in our registry? Demographic data Presentation history Admissions data Growth data Developmental data (once/year) Immunization data Medication data Interim health history Dietary data Physical examination data at each visit (min. 6 months) Review of systems at each visit (6 months) July 11, 2018
NORD Project Joint project with FDA and NIH Data housed at NORD (Switzerland) Common data elements for natural history and specific disease elements Entry by Patient/Families and medical professionals via web Data ownership by disease organization but can partner and also legacy option if organization fails etc. Common IRB nationally In Pilot phase with 5 rare disease groups Cost is a fraction of RDCRN registry $10-25,000/year compared to > $1,000,000/year for RDCRN model.
OAA registry thus far (June 2) Consented: 86 Not started: 37 Started: 49 Completed:44 Updated: 1
Future directions Industry is interested in our registry What needs to occur to make this registry most useful to us (aka, how do we use if to improve care)?
