Isovaleric Acidemia Severity Assessment

Assesses isovaleric acidemia severity using isovalerylcarnitine (C5), isovalerylglycine, and ammonia levels, with glycine supplementation dosing recommendation to enhance detoxification.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Assesses isovaleric acidemia severity using isovalerylcarnitine (C5), isovalerylglycine, and ammonia levels, with glycine supplementation dosing recommendation to enhance detoxification

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Isovalerylcarnitine — The isovalerylcarnitine recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Isovalerylglycine — The isovalerylglycine recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Ammonia levels — The ammonia levels recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the iva severity result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the isovalerylcarnitine, isovalerylglycine, ammonia levels for the scenario you are assessing. Assesses isovaleric acidemia severity using isovalerylcarnitine (C5), isovalerylglycine, and ammonia levels, with glycine supplementation dosing recommendation to enhance detoxification. Use the iva severity result to inform your calculation.
