The two organs most commonly affected are the liver and the skeletal muscle. Glycogen storage diseases that affect the liver typically cause hepatomegaly and hypoglycemia; those that affect skeletal muscle cause exercise intolerance, progressive weakness and cramping. [1] Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase deficiency affects step 2 of glycolysis.
Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes E73-E74 within Chapter IV: Endocrine, nutritional and metabolic diseases should be included in this category. Pages in category "Inborn errors of carbohydrate metabolism"
It can lead to diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Obesity is a condition in which the natural energy reserve, stored in the fatty tissue of humans and other mammals, is increased to a point where it is associated with certain health conditions or increased mortality.
[11] [12] Specifically, it is a deficiency, excess, or imbalance of energy, protein and other nutrients which adversely affects the body's tissues and form. [13] Malnutrition is a category of diseases that includes undernutrition and overnutrition. [14] Undernutrition is a lack of nutrients, which can result in stunted growth, wasting, and ...
Isolated growth hormone deficiency, hypopituitarism; Insulin excess. Hyperinsulinism due to several congenital disorders of insulin secretion; Insulin injected for type 1 diabetes; Hyperinsulinism-hyperammonemia syndrome (HIHA) due to glutamate dehydrogenase 1 gene. Can cause intellectual disability and epilepsy in severe cases. [3]
A congenital disorder of glycosylation (previously called carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome) is one of several rare inborn errors of metabolism in which glycosylation of a variety of tissue proteins and/or lipids is deficient or defective. Congenital disorders of glycosylation are sometimes known as CDG syndromes.
A metabolic disorder is a disorder that negatively alters the body's processing and distribution of macronutrients, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.Metabolic disorders can happen when abnormal chemical reactions in the body alter the normal metabolic process. [3]
Normally the human gastrointestinal tract digests and absorbs dietary nutrients with remarkable efficiency. A typical Western diet ingested by an adult in one day includes approximately 100 g of fat, 400 g of carbohydrate, 100 g of protein, 2 L of fluid, and the required sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, vitamins, and other elements.
