  • Title: Treatment of a neonate with propionic acidaemia and severe hyperammonaemia by peritoneal dialysis.
    Author: Robert MF, Schultz DJ, Wolf B, Cochran WD, Schwartz AL.
    Journal: Arch Dis Child; 1979 Dec; 54(12):962-5. PubMed ID: 533302.
    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.
