Fatty Acid Oxidation Disorders
How is it treated?
This can be prevented by avoiding fasting and maintaining a regular intake of sugar during infections - by mouth or intravenously if the child vomits. With this simple management, outcomes are excellent.
Patients with other fatty acid oxidation disorders also need to avoid fasting and to maintain a regular sugar intake during infections. Unfortunately, they can have additional problems, such as muscle problems or heart muscle disease. Treatment usually involves a low fat diet.
