Propionic acidemia has a relatively high prevalence in South Africa, among both black and white families. This fatal disease is often diagnosed by the elevated presence of propionyl carnitine, propionylglycine and methyl citrate in blood and urine. Discuss the metabolism involved and origin of these markers.

- A 13 month old boy was admitted to a small rural hospital. He had been in a normal state of health until 10 days prior, at which time he had developed an upper respiratory tract infection. He experienced increasing problems with his balance and became lethargic. These symptoms prompted his mother to seek medical attention at the hospital where pertinent laboratory results at admission showed a serum glucose level of 23 mg/dL and moderate ketones in the urine and serum. An intravenous solution of 5% dextrose was initiated to correct the low glucose level. Because the clinical picture resembled Reye’s syndrome, the child was transferred to a medical center hospital for a definitive diagnosis. Laboratory results on admission to the medical center hospital.

Your new patient JD is in the hospital for fractures. His chart showed he has type 2 diabetes with HbA1c of 8.0%. JD’s sister came in to visit at lunch and brought him a Big Mac (3 slices of bread) with large fries on the side in addition to a bag of potato chips and a bottle of orange juice. You are concerned about the high carbohydrate content of the meal and discussed this with JD and JD’s sister. JD’s sister said, “I know my brother has diabetes, so I didn’t bring him soda or dessert.” JD said “I really love my carbs, but I know I should avoid all carbs to make my sugar low. Doctor said something about my ‘A1c’. Do you know what that is about?” Both JD and his sister said they would like to learn more about diabetes and diet.” Q1.
