Toxicity of Organic Acids Leading to Renal Dysfunction in Glutaric Acidemia Type I: A Mini Review.
Understanding kidney damage mechanisms in a rare metabolic disease guides new protective strategies as patients live longer.
This mini-review synthesizes evidence on renal toxicity mechanisms in glutaric acidemia type I, a rare organic acidemia where kidney involvement has historically been overshadowed by the more dramatic neurological complications. Understanding the renal pathophysiology may guide nephroprotective strategies as patients live longer with improved metabolic management.
