Abstract:
A 13-year-old boy with non-B12-responsive methylmalonic acidemia (MMA) had chronic renal failure. Hemodialysis led to symptomatic and biochemical improvement. He subsequently received a combined liver-kidney transplant. After 16 months of follow-up he has a normal lifestyle and a marked reduction in plasma and urine methylmalonate.
