Propionic Acidemia Monitoring Calculator

Monitors propionic acidemia metabolic control using plasma propionylcarnitine, ammonia, bicarbonate, and ketones with recommendations for biotin and carnitine supplementation and cardiac surveillance.

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

Monitors propionic acidemia metabolic control using plasma propionylcarnitine, ammonia, bicarbonate, and ketones with recommendations for biotin and carnitine supplementation and cardiac surveillance

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Plasma propionylcarnitine — The plasma propionylcarnitine recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Ammonia — The ammonia recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Bicarbonate — The bicarbonate recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Ketones — The ketones recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the pa monitor result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the plasma propionylcarnitine, ammonia, bicarbonate, ketones for the scenario you are assessing. Monitors propionic acidemia metabolic control using plasma propionylcarnitine, ammonia, bicarbonate, and ketones with recommendations for biotin and carnitine supplementation and cardiac surveillance. Use the pa monitor result to inform your calculation.
