Just been told my baby has Glutaric Acidemia type 2.?

Answer 1

Glutaric acidemia type II is an inherited disorder that interferes with the body's ability to use proteins and fats for energy. Incompletely processed proteins and fats can build up, leading to a dangerous chemical imbalance called acidosis. Glutaric acidemia type II often appears in infancy as a sudden metabolic crisis, in which acidosis and low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) cause weakness, behavior changes, and vomiting. There may also be enlargement of the liver, heart failure, and a characteristic odor resembling that of sweaty feet. Some infants with glutaric acidemia type II have birth defects, including multiple fluid-filled growths in the kidneys (polycystic kidneys).
