Practical management of organic acidemias
Organic acidemias or acidurias (OAs) are a group of metabolic disorders which result in organic acids detected in the urine (or plasma). They include the systemic OAs, the cerebral OAs, and the ketogenic/ketolytic OAs. In general, all types of OA can be treated using a similar conceptual organization.

Nutrient Intake and Nutritional Status in Adult Patients with Inherited Metabolic Diseases Treated with Low-Protein Diets: A Review on Urea Cycle Disorders and Branched Chain Organic Acidemias. [PDF]
Low-protein diets (LPDs) are the main treatment for urea cycle disorders (UCDs) and organic acidemias (OAs). In most cases, LPDs start in childhood and must be continued into adulthood.

Vitamin B2 enables regulation of fasting glucose availability
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) interacts with flavoproteins to mediate oxidation-reduction reactions required for cellular energy demands. Not surprisingly, mutations that alter FAD binding to flavoproteins cause rare inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs)
