Abstract:
:Maple syrup disease is an autosomal recessive entity caused by a congenital error in the metabolism of three essential branchedchain amino acids: valine, leucine and isoleucine. The neonatal form of this disease is expressed by a severe and progressive neurological compromise, associated with a peculiar smell of urine, a consequence of the elimination of the excess of these amino acids. This smell of burnt sugar mimics the molasses obtained from maples, which gives its name to this disease. The best method to eliminate these toxins is hemodiafiltration, but in centers where this practice is not possible, peritoneal dialysis is an alternative. We present a newborn with leukinosis with severe central nervous system involvement in whom peritoneal dialysis was useful to overcome metabolic decompensation. :La enfermedad de jarabe de arce es una entidad autosómica recesiva producida por un error congénito en el metabolismo de tres aminoácidos esenciales de cadena ramificada: valina, leucina e isoleucina. La forma neonatal de esta enfermedad se manifiesta por un cuadro de compromiso neurológico grave y progresivo, asociado a un olor peculiar de la orina, consecuencia de la eliminación del exceso de estos aminoácidos. Este olor a azúcar quemada remeda a la melaza obtenida de los arces, lo que da nombre a esta enfermedad. El mejor método para eliminar estos tóxicos es la hemodiafiltración, pero, en los centros en los que esta práctica no es posible, la diálisis peritoneal constituye una alternativa. Se presenta a un recién nacido con leucinosis, con compromiso grave del sistema nervioso central, en quien la diálisis peritoneal fue de utilidad para superar la descompensación metabólica.
