    Hereditary fructose intolerance can present as acute liver failure or biliary atresia in infants. Early diagnosis is crucial for differentiating metabolic disorders from other causes of infant liver failure.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatric Gastroenterology
    • Metabolic Disorders
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is a rare genetic metabolic disorder.
    • Infants with HFI cannot properly metabolize fructose, leading to toxic accumulation of metabolites.
    • Early diagnosis and management are critical to prevent severe health complications.

    Observation:

    • This report details two pediatric cases of HFI.
    • Case 1 presented with acute liver failure.
    • Case 2 was initially diagnosed with intrahepatic biliary duct atresia.

    Findings:

    • HFI can manifest with diverse and severe hepatic symptoms in infancy.
    • Distinguishing HFI from other causes of infant liver failure, such as infections or biliary atresia, presents diagnostic challenges.

  • The clinical presentation can mimic other serious pediatric liver diseases.

    • Implications:

    • Highlights the importance of considering metabolic disorders in the differential diagnosis of unexplained infant liver failure.
    • Emphasizes the need for specific diagnostic testing for HFI in affected infants.
    • Underscores the critical role of timely diagnosis for effective management and improved outcomes in pediatric HFI cases.
