Several disorders of energy metabolism have been treated with exogenous ketone bodies. The benefit of this treatment is best documented in multiple acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MADD) (MIM#231680). One might also expect ketone bodies to help in other disorders with impaired ketogenesis or in conditions that profit from a ketogenic diet. Here, we report the use of a novel preparation of dextro-β-hydroxybutyrate (D-βHB) salts in two cases of MADD and one case of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency (MIM#312170). The two patients with MADD had previously been on a racemic mixture of D- and L‑sodium hydroxybutyrate. Patient #1 found D-βHB more palatable, and the change in formulation corrected hypernatraemia in patient #2. The patient with PDH deficiency was on a ketogenic diet but had not previously been given hydroxybutyrate. In this case, the addition of D-βHB improved ketosis. We conclude that NHS101 is a good candidate for further clinical studies in this group of diseases of inborn errors of metabolism. |
