Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) can cause interstitial nephritis and chronic renal failure in children. Early renal evaluation is crucial for managing these serious kidney complications in MMA patients.

Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Pediatric Nephrology

Background:

  • Methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) is an inherited metabolic disorder affecting amino acid metabolism.
  • Renal complications, including chronic renal failure, have been reported in patients with MMA.
  • Interstitial nephritis is a recognized but rare renal manifestation of MMA.

Observation:

  • Two new cases of interstitial nephritis in MMA patients are presented.
  • Hypertension was observed as a presenting feature of renal disease in one patient, a novel finding.
  • The interstitial nephritis in these cases was not attributed to urate nephropathy.

Findings:

  • Renal biopsy confirmed interstitial nephritis in both reported MMA patients.
  • This study expands the documented cases of MMA-associated interstitial nephritis to four.

  • Hypertension is identified as a potential, previously unreported, clinical presentation of renal disease in MMA.

    • Implications:

    • The findings underscore the importance of comprehensive renal status evaluation in all children diagnosed with MMA.
    • Prompt diagnosis and management of renal complications may improve outcomes for MMA patients.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the pathogenesis of renal disease in MMA and to develop targeted therapies.
