Extracorporeal Methods in Treatment of Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Abstract
Inborn errors of metabolism are hereditary disorders that are related to the accumulation of toxic substances or deficiency of proteins because of enzymatic blokage in the metabolic pathways. Treatment should be quick and aggressive as inborn errors of metabolism might lead toorgan damage and even death. This article discusses extracorporeal methods like exchange transfusion, peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis, plasmapheresis and extracorporeal membran oxygenation for acute management of inborn errors of metabolism apart from medical therapies.
