Abstract

Methylmalonic acidemia (MMAemia) is characterized by accumulation of methylmalonic acid (MMA) in all body tissues. To minimize disease-related complications, isolated kidney (KTx), liver (LTx) or com- bined liver-kidney transplantation (LKTx) have been suggested. However, the impact of these different trans- plant strategies on outcome are unclear. Methods: In this multicenter retrospective observational study, we compared plasma MMA levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) data of 83 patients. Sixty-eight patients (82%) had a mut0 -type MMAemia, one patient had a mut--type MMAemia, and seven (7.3%) had an inherited defect in cobalamin metabolism (cblA- or cblB-type MMAemia). Median observation period was 3.7 years (0–15.1 years). Results: Twenty-six (31%) patients underwent KTx, 24 (29%) LTx and 33 (40%) LKTx. Posttransplant, mean plasma MMA concentration significantly decreased in all three cohorts; but at month 12, plasma MMA in KTx (1372 ± 1101 µmol/L) was 7.8-fold higher than in LTx (176 ± 103 µmol/L; P < 0.001) and 6.4-fold higher than in LKTx (215 ± 110 µmol/L; P < 0.001). Comparable data were observed at month 24. At time of transplan- tation, mean eGFR in KTx was 18.1 ± 24.3 mL/min/1.73 m2 , in LTx 99.8 ± 29.9 mL/min/1.73 m2 , and in LKTx 31.5
