Workup
Testing for adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism should be part of the hyponatremic workup, as the disorders respond promptly to hormone replacement. Depending on the etiology, mineralocorticoid will also need replacement. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Treatment Treatment Options: No effective treatment is known. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Treatment: There is no cure for Zellweger syndrome, nor is there a standard course of treatment. [medigoo.com]

Prognosis
Zellweger demonstrates a poor prognosis and death usually occurs by 6 months of age which may be a result of respiratory distress, gastrointestinal bleeding, or liver failure. [mirc.luriechildrens.org]
The prognosis for infants with Zellweger syndrome is poor, with the majority of infants failing to survive their first six months of life; they usually die from gastrointestinal bleeding, respiratory distress, or liver failure. [medigoo.com]
Depending upon how extensive the organ involvement, the prognosis is usually guarded and patients may not live beyond early childhood. It is uncertain if IFAP refers to a single disorder or if two disorders are involved (see Genetics). [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]
Clinical course Prognosis in the late-onset form is much better. [mrineonatalbrain.com]
