Treatment of a neonate with propionic acidaemia and severe hyperammonaemia by peritoneal dialysis

M F Robert et al. Arch Dis Child. 1979 Dec.

Abstract

A moribund newborn infant with propionic acidaemia and severe hyperammonaemia was successfully treated by peritoneal dialysis. The removal of ammonia and possibly additional toxic metabolites by peritoneal dialysis may be life-saving in newborn infants with propionic acidaemia or other hyperammonaemic syndromes.
