Consenso mexicano de tirosinemia tipo 1

INTRODUCTION: Tyrosinemia type 1 is a rare disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, featuring various clinical manifestations. These may encompass acute neonatal liver failure, neonatal cholestatic syndrome, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and, alternatively, kidney disorders like renal tubular acidosis, Fanconi syndrome, hypophosphatemic rickets, among other alterations. Diagnosis relies on detecting toxic metabolites in the blood and urine, ideally confirmed through molecular testing. METHOD: A consensus was reached with experts in the field of inborn errors of metabolism (EIM), including eight pediatric gastroenterologists, two EIM specialists, two geneticists, three pediatric nutritionists specialized in EIM, and a pediatric surgeon specializing in transplants. Six working groups were tasked with formulating statements and justifications, and 32 statements were anonymously voted on using the Likert scale and the Delphi method. The first virtual vote achieved an 80% consensus, with the remaining 20% determined in person. RESULTS: The statements were categorized into epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, nutritional and medical treatment, and genetic counseling. CONCLUSIONS: This consensus serves as a valuable tool for primary care physicians, pediatricians, and pediatric gastroenterologists, aiding in the prompt diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Its impact on the morbidity and mortality of patients with tyrosinemia type 1 is substantial.

Establishing Neonate-Specific Prognostic Markers in Acute Liver Failure: Admission Alpha Fetoprotein and Novel Neonatal Acute Liver Failure Scores Predict Patient Outcomes.

OBJECTIVE: To develop neonate-specific prediction models for survival with native liver (SNL) in neonatal acute liver failure (ALF) and to determine if these prediction models have superior accuracy to existing models for older children with ALF. STUDY DESIGN: A single-center, retrospective chart review was conducted on neonates ≤ 30 days of life between 2005 and 2022 with ALF (international normalized ratio ≥ 2 or prothrombin time ≥ 20s and liver dysfunction). Statistical analysis included comparison of patients by outcome of SNL and generalized linear modeling to derive prediction models. The predictive accuracy of variables was evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis and Kaplan-Meier survival analysis. RESULTS: A total of 51 patients met inclusion criteria. The most common causes of neonatal ALF included ischemia (22%), infection (20%), and gestational alloimmune liver disease (16%). Overall SNL rate was 43% (n = 22). Alpha fetoprotein levels were higher in SNL patients (P = .034) and differed more significantly by SNL status among nongestational alloimmune liver disease patients (n = 21, P = .001). An alpha fetoprotein < 4775 ng/mL had 75% sensitivity and 100% specificity to predict death or transplant in nongestational alloimmune liver disease patients with an area under the ROC curve of 0.81. A neonate-specific admission model (international normalized ratio and ammonia) and peak model (prothrombin time and ammonia) also predicted SNL with good accuracy (area under the ROC curve = 0.73 and 0.82, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: We identified neonate-specific prognostic variables for SNL in ALF. Findings from our study may help early risk stratification to guide medical decision-making and consideration for liver transplantation.

Peroxisome deficiency underlies failures in hepatic immune cell development and antigen presentation in a severe Zellweger disease model.

Peroxisome biogenesis disorders (PBDs) represent a group of metabolic conditions that cause severe developmental defects. Peroxisomes are essential metabolic organelles, present in virtually every eukaryotic cell and mediating key processes in immunometabolism. To date, the full spectrum of PBDs remains to be identified, and the impact PBDs have on immune function is unexplored. This study presents a characterization of the hepatic immune compartment of a neonatal PBD mouse model at single-cell resolution to establish the importance and function of peroxisomes in developmental hematopoiesis. We report that hematopoietic defects are a feature in a severe PBD murine model. Finally, we identify a role for peroxisomes in the regulation of the major histocompatibility class II expression and antigen presentation to CD4+ T cells in dendritic cells. This study adds to our understanding of the mechanisms of PBDs and expands our knowledge of the role of peroxisomes in immunometabolism.

Torsion of an Accessory Liver Lobe in a Newborn.

Accessory liver lobes are rare. We present the rare case of torsion of an accessory liver lobe in a neonate. A 13-day-old newborn presented with failure to thrive and hematemesis without fever. The initial workup with sonography, magnetic resonance imaging, and upper gastrointestinal study was suspicious of a duplication cyst, most likely in the posterior wall of the stomach. Laboratory and radiological findings were not suggesting a choledochal cyst. We performed a laparotomy with resection of the 3.2 × 2.1 × 1.1 cm mass. Intraoperatively, the cystic formation extended from of the liver bed up to the lesser curvature of the stomach. The mass was attached to the left liver lobe with fibrous bands. Histopathology revealed necrotic liver parenchyma with patent viable biliary ducts, indicative of an accessory liver lobe that underwent torsion in the perinatal period. The postoperative course and follow-up (6 months so far) were uneventful. To our knowledge, this is the youngest described patient in the literature with an accessory liver lobe torsion and the second case report concerning this entity in a neonate. It presents an extremely rare differential diagnosis in symptomatic neonates with a cystic mass in the upper abdomen.

Mitochondrial depletion syndrome type 3: the Lebanese variant.

Introduction: Mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome type 3 is an emerging disorder linked to variants in the deoxyguanosine kinase gene, which encodes for mitochondrial maintenance. This autosomal recessive disorder is frequent in the Middle East and North Africa. Diagnosis is often delayed due to the non-specificity of clinical presentation with cerebro-hepatic deterioration. The only therapeutic option is liver transplantation, although the value of this remains debatable. Methods: We describe the clinical, biochemical, and molecular profiles of Lebanese patients with this rare disorder. We also present a review of all cases from the Middle East and North Africa. Results: All Lebanese patients share a unique mutation, unreported in other populations. Almost half of patients worldwide originate from the Middle East and North Africa, with cases reported from only 7 of the 21 countries in this region. Clinical presentation is heterogeneous, with early-onset neurological and hepatic signs. Liver failure and lactic acidosis are constants. Several variants can be identified in each population; a unique c.235C>T p. (Gln79*) pathogenic variant is found in Lebanese patients. Outcome is poor, with death before 1 year of age. Conclusion: The pathogenic nonsense variant c.235C>T p. (Gln79*) in the deoxyguanosine kinase gene may be considered a founder mutation in Lebanon. Further genotypic delineation of this devastating disorder in populations with high consanguinity rates is needed.

The neonatal liver: Normal development and response to injury and disease.

The liver emerges from the ventral foregut endoderm around 3 weeks in human and 1 week in mice after fertilization. The fetal liver works as a hematopoietic organ and then develops functions required for performing various metabolic reactions in late fetal and neonatal periods. In parallel with functional differentiation, the liver establishes three dimensional tissue structures. In particular, establishment of the bile excretion system consisting of bile canaliculi of hepatocytes and bile ducts of cholangiocytes is critical to maintain healthy tissue status. This is because hepatocytes produce bile as they functionally mature, and if allowed to remain within the liver tissue can lead to cytotoxicity. In this review, we focus on epithelial tissue morphogenesis in the perinatal period and cholestatic liver diseases caused by abnormal development of the biliary system.

Mitochondrial hepatopathy: Respiratory chain disorders- 'breathing in and out of the liver'.

Mitochondria, the powerhouse of a cell, are closely linked to the pathophysiology of various common as well as not so uncommon disorders of the liver and beyond. Evolution supports a prokaryotic descent, and, unsurprisingly, the organelle is worthy of being labeled an organism in itself. Since highly metabolically active organs require a continuous feed of energy, any dysfunction in the structure and function of mitochondria can have variable impact, with the worse end of the spectrum producing catastrophic consequences with a multisystem predisposition. Though categorized a hepatopathy, mitochondrial respiratory chain defects are not limited to the liver in time and space. The liver involvement is also variable in clinical presentation as well as in age of onset, from acute liver failure, cholestasis, or chronic liver disease. Other organs like eye, muscle, central and peripheral nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, hematological, endocrine, and renal systems are also variably involved. Diagnosis hinges on recognition of subtle clinical clues, screening metabolic investigations, evaluation of the extra-hepatic involvement, and role of genetics and tissue diagnosis. Treatment is aimed at both circumventing the acute metabolic crisis and long-term management including nutritional rehabilitation. This review lists and discusses the burden of mitochondrial respiratory chain defects, including various settings when to suspect, their evolution with time, including certain specific disorders, their tiered evaluation with diagnostic algorithms, management dilemmas, role of liver transplantation, and the future research tools.

Efficacy of Intravenous Immunoglobulin/Exchange Transfusion Therapy on Gestational Alloimmune Liver Disease.

Background: Gestational alloimmune liver disease (GALD) is a rare but critical cause of neonatal liver failure. After discovering the maternal-fetal alloimmune mechanism, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) with or without exchange transfusion (ET) has gradually replaced antioxidant cocktails as the first-line therapy. Whether such therapy changes the outcome of neonates with GALD is yet to be defined. Method: We reported a pair of twins with discordant presentations, mild and self-limited in the older, whereas liver failure in the younger, who was successfully rescued by ET and IVIG. To investigate the outcome after therapeutic alteration, 39 cases between 2005 and 2020 from literature research were collected. Results: Half of the collected cases (47.1%) were preterm. Common presentations were ascites, jaundice, respiratory distress, hepatomegaly, and edema. Leading laboratory abnormalities were coagulopathy, hypoalbuminemia, and elevated serum ferritin. Salivary gland biopsy and magnetic resonance imaging detected extrahepatic siderosis in 70% (14/20) and 56% (14/25), respectively. IVIG, ET, and liver transplantation were performed in 19 (48.7%), 15 (38.5%), and 8 (20.5%) patients, respectively. The overall survival (OS) rate and native liver survival (NLS) rate were 64.1% (25/39) and 43.6% (17/39), respectively. Although the compiled results did not support a significant benefit, the OS and NLS were higher in the IVIG with/without ET group compared with those treated with conventional therapy [OS (70 vs. 57.9%) and NLS (55 vs. 31.6%), respectively]. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion for GALD is crucial when facing a neonate with liver failure. Despite no significant influence on the outcome over conventional therapy in such a rare and detrimental disease, IVIG with or without ET can be worth trying before resorting to liver transplantation, which is resource-demanding and technique-challenging in small infants.

Neonatal Hereditary Fructose Intolerance: Diagnostic Misconceptions and the Role of Genomic Sequencing.

Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is a rare inborn error of metabolism due to deficiency of the enzyme aldolase B, preventing metabolism of fructose. Patients remain asymptomatic until exposed to fructose, sucrose, or sorbitol. HFI presenting as acute liver failure in the neonatal period is rare due to lack of exposure as breast milk and infant formulas are considered to be fructose free. Diagnosis can be delayed due to vague symptoms and lack of specific biomarkers. Recent advances in genetic testing have led to rapid diagnosis and favorable outcomes. We present the case of a formula-fed neonate who presented with acute liver failure where definitive diagnosis of HFI was made using expedited whole exome sequencing. Through this communication, we aim to bring attention to neonatal presentations of HFI from exposure to fructose in infant formulas and also highlight advances in rapid turnaround genomic testing in diagnosis.

Neonatal liver disease.

Neonatal liver disease encompasses many diagnoses, including structural and genetic aetiologies. Many have significant health implications requiring long-term specialist treatment including liver transplantation. Jaundice is a common presenting feature. The ability of health-care professionals to differentiate neonatal liver disease from benign diagnoses such as physiological jaundice is very important. Persistent (more than 2 weeks) of conjugated jaundice always warrants investigation. Severe unconjugated jaundice (requiring prolonged phototherapy) should also be promptly investigated. Recent advances in genomics have enabled previously elusive, precise diagnoses in some patients with neonatal liver disease. This review paper discusses the commoner causes, with a focus on early detection and need for referral to paediatric liver services.

A case of Niemann-Pick disease type C with neonatal liver failure initially diagnosed as neonatal hemochromatosis.

BACKGROUND: Niemann-Pick type C (NPC) is a lysosomal lipid storage disease with mutation of NPC1/NPC2 genes, which transport lipids in the endosome and lysosome, and various neurological symptoms. NPC patients also develop hepatosplenomegaly or liver disorder in the neonatal period, and 10% suffer severe liver failure. Neonatal hemochromatosis (NH) is a liver disorder characterized by hepatic and extrahepatic siderosis. Although the etiology of NH is unclear, recent reports suggest that the gestational alloimmune mechanism is the cause of NH. Herein, we report a Japanese NPC patient initially diagnosed as NH. CASE REPORT: A 5-day-old boy was transferred to our hospital with severe cholestatic liver failure. Congenital infections and metabolic screening were negative, and NH was suspected. However intra and extrahepatic siderosis were not found. As his liver deteriorated rapidly, liver transplantation was performed at 19 days old. The explanted liver showed cirrhosis, and strong C5b-9 complex staining of hepatocytes, so NH was diagnosed. From the age of one and a half years, he developed regression, vertical supranuclear gaze palsy and cataplexy. Fibroblast filipin staining was strong, blood oxysterol was high, and there were compound heterozygous mutations in NPC1,p.[(F288L)];[(K1206N)]. The patient was then diagnosed as NPC and started on miglustat. CONCLUSION: Neonatal liver failure was initially diagnosed as NH. Later, the patient developed various neurological symptoms characteristic of NPC. Neurological follow-up of children who develop NH is required.

Non-Immune Hydrops, Hypotonia, Encephalopathy, and Liver Failure with Novel Compound Heterozygous AHCY Mutations.

A late-preterm infant with a prenatal diagnosis of non-immune hydrops was born with hypotonia, poor respiratory effort, chylothorax, encephalopathy, coagulopathy, progressive hepatic failure, and refractory pulmonary hypertension. Life support was withdrawn at 7 days of life due to multisystem organ failure. Rapid whole exome sequencing revealed novel compound heterozygous mutations in the gene encoding S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolase (AHCY); each novel variant was carried by an asymptomatic parent. Reports of neonates with other AHCY mutations describe a pathology of varying severity. AHCY mutations should be considered when seeking an etiology for neonates with the combination of non-immune hydrops, hypotonia, encephalopathy, and liver failure.

The Effects of Gestational Alloimmune Liver Disease on Fetal and Infant Morbidity and Mortality.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate pregnancy outcomes in pedigrees of neonatal hemochromatosis to determine the spectrum of gestational alloimmune liver disease (GALD) in a large cohort. STUDY DESIGN: We prospectively collected data from women with a prior offspring with proven neonatal hemochromatosis between 1997 and 2015 and analyzed pregnancy outcomes. RESULTS: The pedigrees from 150 women included 350 gestations with outcomes potentially related to GALD. There were 105 live-born infants without liver disease, 157 live-born infants with liver failure, and 88 fetal losses. Fetal loss occurred in 25% of total gestations. Ninety-seven pedigrees contained a single affected offspring, whereas 53 contained multiple affected offspring. Analysis of these 53 pedigrees yielded a per-pregnancy repeat occurrence rate of 95%. Notably, the first poor outcome occurred in the first pregnancy in 60% of pedigrees. Outcomes of the 157 live-born infants with liver failure were poor: 18% survived, 82% died. Of the 134 live-born infants with treatment data, 20 received intravenous immunoglobulin with or without double-volume exchange transfusion of which 9 (45%) survived; 14 infants (10%) received a liver transplant of which 6 (43%) survived. CONCLUSIONS: GALD is a significant cause of both fetal loss and neonatal mortality with a high rate of disease recurrence in untreated pregnancies at risk. Poor outcomes related to GALD commonly occur in the first gestation, necessitating a high index of suspicion to diagnose this disorder at first presentation.

Metabolically based liver damage pathophysiology in patients with urea cycle disorders - A new hypothesis.

The underlying pathophysiology of liver dysfunction in urea cycle disorders (UCDs) is still largely elusive. There is some evidence that the accumulation of urea cycle (UC) intermediates are toxic for hepatocyte mitochondria. It is possible that liver injury is directly caused by the toxicity of ammonia. The rarity of UCDs, the lack of checking of iron level in these patients, superficial knowledge of UC and an underestimation of the metabolic role of fumaric acid, are the main reasons that are responsible for the incomprehension of the mechanism of liver injury in patients suffering from UCDs. Owing to our routine clinical practice to screen for iron overload in severely ill neonates, with the focus on the newborns suffering from acute liver failure, we report a case of citrullinemia with neonatal liver failure and high blood parameters of iron overload. We hypothesize that the key is in the decreased-deficient fumaric acid production in the course of UC in UCDs that causes several sequentially intertwined metabolic disturbances with final result of liver iron overload. The presented hypothesis could be easily tested by examining the patients suffering from UCDs, for liver iron overload. This could be easily performed in countries with a high population and comprehensive national register for inborn errors of metabolism. CONCLUSION: Providing the hypothesis is correct, neonatal liver damage in patients having UCD can be prevented by the supplementation of pregnant women with fumaric or succinic acid, prepared in the form of iron supplementation pills. After birth, liver damage in patients having UCDs can be prevented by supplementation of these patients with zinc fumarate or zinc succinylate, as well.

Neonatal Cholestasis.

Neonatal jaundice is common and usually not concerning when it is secondary to unconjugated hyperbilirubinemia, below the neurotoxic level, and resolves early. Primary care providers should be vigilant, however, about evaluating infants in whom jaundice presents early, is prolonged beyond 2 weeks of life, or presents at high levels. Even in well-appearing infants, fractionated (direct and indirect) bilirubin levels should be obtained in these clinical scenarios to evaluate for potential cholestasis. This review presents an approach to the evaluation of a jaundiced infant and discusses diagnosis and management of several causes of neonatal cholestasis.

Insuficiencia hepática aguda neonatal: un desafío diagnóstico / Neonatal acute liver failure: a diagnosis challenge

La insuficiencia hepática aguda durante el período neonatal es una enfermedad rara, muy grave, con elevada mortalidad. Se diferencia clínica y etiológicamente de la insuficiencia hepática aguda del niño mayor y del adulto. La coagulopatía, con un Rango Internacional Normatizado > 3, es el parámetro fundamental para definirla. Las causas más frecuentes son la hepatitis fetal aloinmune, previamente denominada hemocromatosis neonatal, las infecciones virales, las enfermedades metabólicas y la linfohistiocitosis hemofagocítica. Existe un grupo de enfermedades tratables que es necesario diagnosticar con mucha rapidez para brindarles el tratamiento correspondiente. El paciente debe ser derivado precozmente a un centro especializado con disponibilidad de trasplante hepático pediátrico para poder darle esta alternativa terapéutica cuando esté indicada.

Neonatal acute liver failure is a rare, very severe disease with a high rate of mortality. It is clinically and etiologically different from acute liver failure seen in older children and adults. Coagulopathy with an international normalized ratio > 3 is the critical parameter that defines it. The most common causes are fetal alloimmune hepatitis, previously called neonatal hemochromatosis, viral infections, metabolic disorders, and hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. There is a group of treatable diseases that require a very early diagnosis for the prescription of an adequate treatment. Patients should be immediately referred to a specialized facility where pediatric liver transplantation is available to implement such therapeutic alternative, if indicated.
