Beta-methylcrotonic aciduria associated with lactic acidosis
The Journal of Pediatrics
|February 1, 1976
Summary
Severe lactic acidosis in a patient correlated with high levels of beta-methylcrotonic acid and rho-hydroxyphenyllactic acid. This suggests a possible acquired condition rather than a genetic metabolic disorder.
Area of Science:
- Biochemistry
- Clinical Medicine
- Metabolic Disorders
Background:
- Lactic acidosis is a critical condition with various underlying causes.
- Organic acidurias are metabolic disorders often diagnosed through urine analysis.
- Beta-methylcrotonylglycinuria is a known inborn error of metabolism.
