Renal dosing, restrictions and evidence limits
Use indexed eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2). At 60-89 no renal adjustment is needed. The following are total DAILY doses, not per-dose amounts:
NAGS deficiency, acute: eGFR 30-59, 50-125 mg/kg/day; eGFR 15-29, 15-60 mg/kg/day. Chronic: 30-59, 5-50 mg/kg/day; 15-29, 2-25 mg/kg/day. Use actual body weight, divide into 2-4 doses, and round to the nearest 50 mg.
PA/MMA, acute: at 30-59, 75 mg/kg/day if weight <=15 kg or 1.7 g/m2/day if >15 kg. At 15-29, 25 mg/kg/day if <=15 kg or 0.55 g/m2/day if >15 kg. Divide into two equal doses 12 hours apart and round UP to the nearest 50 mg. Continue until ammonia is below 50 micromol/L, for a maximum of seven days.
Monitor ammonia and use concurrent ammonia-lowering treatment as indicated. ESRD PK is unevaluated; dialysis for hyperammonemia is not a replacement-dose instruction. Disperse tablets in water; do not swallow whole or crush.
