The accumulation of toxic metabolites may cause acute metabolic crisis with long-term neurological dysfunction and death. Renal replacement therapy (RRT) modalities allow the efficient removal of toxic metabolites. In this study, we reviewed our experience with continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) as RRT for newborns with an inborn metabolic disease.\nMaterials and methods: Patients diagnosed with an inborn metabolic disease who received CVVHDF treatment at our neonatal intensive care unit between January 2014 and December 2017 were included in this study. Their demographic and clinical data were collected, and the efficacy and safety of CVVHDF was evaluated.\nResults: Nine continuous RRT (CRRT) sessions as CVVHDF were performed in eight newborns with a diagnosis of urea cycle defect (n= 5), maple syrup urine disease (n= 2), or methylmalonic acidemia (n= 1). The mean age at admission was 10 \u00b1 8.6 days (range: 3\u201328 days). The mean plasma levels of ammonium were 1120 \u00b1 512.6 mg\/dL and 227.5 \u00b1 141.6 mg\/dL before and at the end of treatment, respectively. Plasma levels of leucine were 2053.5 \u00b1 1282 \u00b5mol\/L and 473.5 \u00b1 7.8 \u00b5mol\/L before and at the end of treatment, respectively. The CVVHDF duration was 32.3 \u00b1 11.1 h (median: 37 h; range: 16\u201344 h), and the mean length of hospitalization was 14.6 \u00b1 12.9 days. The mean duration of CVVHDF was 32.3 \u00b1 11.1 h (range: 16\u201344 h). Circuit clotting was the most common observed complication (37.5%) and the survival rate was 50%. Among surviving patients, two developed severe and two developed mild mental and motor retardation. \nConclusion: CVVHDF is a CRRT modality that can be used to treat newborns with an inborn metabolic disease. Early diagnosis, and commencement of specific medical therapy, diet, and extracorporeal support, if needed, are likely to result in improved short- and long-term outcomes.\nKey words: Inborn metabolic diseases, renal replacement therapy, continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration, newborn, survival<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3906\/sag-1811-8","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,24]],"date-time":"2019-04-24T06:35:36Z","timestamp":1556087736000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration in the treatment of newborns with an inborn metabolic disease: a single center experience"],"prefix":"10.55730","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3101-1496","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"HASAN","family":"AKDUMAN","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1101-3355","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"EMEL","family":"OKULU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5880-1113","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"FATMA TUBA","family":"EM\u0130NO\u011eLU","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9458-2803","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"TANIL","family":"KEND\u0130RL\u0130","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7837-3948","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"GAFFAR\u0130","family":"TUN\u00c7","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0684-8219","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"EBRU","family":"AZAPA\u011eASI","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2586-5954","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"OKTAY","family":"PERK","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9277-426X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d6MER","family":"EREDERE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9114-5293","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"BEG\u00dcM","family":"ATASAY","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9320-7702","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"SAADET","family":"ARSAN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"34691","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,24]]},"container-title":["TURKISH JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,20]],"date-time":"2022-06-20T07:22:26Z","timestamp":1655709746000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.tubitak.gov.tr\/medical\/vol50\/iss1\/3"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,24]]},"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3906\/sag-1811-8","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1303-6165"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1303-6165","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,24]]}}}
