Consenso mexicano de tirosinemia tipo 1.

Introduction: Tyrosinemia type 1 is a rare disease with autosomal recessive inheritance, featuring various clinical manifestations. These may encompass acute neonatal liver failure, neonatal cholestatic syndrome, chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, and, alternatively, kidney disorders like renal tubular acidosis, Fanconi syndrome, hypophosphatemic rickets, among other alterations. Diagnosis relies on detecting toxic metabolites in the blood and urine, ideally confirmed through molecular testing. Method: A consensus was reached with experts in the field of inborn errors of metabolism (EIM), including eight pediatric gastroenterologists, two EIM specialists, two geneticists, three pediatric nutritionists specialized in EIM, and a pediatric surgeon specializing in transplants. Six working groups were tasked with formulating statements and justifications, and 32 statements were anonymously voted on using the Likert scale and the Delphi method. The first virtual vote achieved an 80% consensus, with the remaining 20% determined in person. Results: The statements were categorized into epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, nutritional and medical treatment, and genetic counseling. Conclusions: This consensus serves as a valuable tool for primary care physicians, pediatricians, and pediatric gastroenterologists, aiding in the prompt diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Its impact on the morbidity and mortality of patients with tyrosinemia type 1 is substantial. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
