Organic acidemia is a group of rare genetic disorders that affect the body's ability to break down certain proteins and fats. This condition leads to the accumulation of organic acids in the blood, which can cause various health problems. Symptoms may include vomiting, lethargy, and developmental delays, depending on the specific type of organic acidemia. Diagnosis typically involves blood and urine tests to measure organic acid levels. Treatment often includes dietary management, such as a special diet low in certain proteins, and sometimes medications to help remove excess acids. Early detection and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes in individuals with organic acidemia.
