Abstract
|
|
|
|
Propionic acidemia is an inherited organic acid metabolic disorder. During chronic recurrent metabolic crisis, multiple blood transfusions can cause secondary hemochromatosis. We report a patient with propionic acidemia who had iron overload that resulted in liver dysfunction, cardiomyopathy and diabetes. When multiple blood transfusions are unavoidable, use of chelating agents for iron can prevent complications such as diabetes and hemochromatosis.
