Metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), previously known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), [a] is a type of chronic liver disease. This condition is diagnosed when there is excessive fat build-up in the liver ( hepatic steatosis ), and at least one metabolic risk factor.
Fatty liver disease (FLD), also known as hepatic steatosis and steatotic liver disease (SLD), is a condition where excess fat builds up in the liver. [1] Often there are no or few symptoms. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Occasionally there may be tiredness or pain in the upper right side of the abdomen . [ 1 ]
Infants with LAL deficiencies typically show signs of disease in the first weeks of life and if untreated, die within 6–12 months due to multi-organ failure. [2] Older children or adults with LAL-D may remain undiagnosed or be misdiagnosed until they die early from a heart attack or stroke or die suddenly of liver failure. [ 2 ]
The term childhood disease refers to disease that is contracted or becomes symptomatic before the age of 18 or 21 years old. Many of these diseases can also be contracted by adults. Some childhood diseases include:
At any stage, children with chronic illness can have reduced quality of life, especially if the children or their families are of low socioeconomic status. [ 31 ] [ 32 ] Malnutrition is a greater risk among children with chronic illnesses, and children's physical and cognitive development may be poorly impacted, such as abnormal immune system ...
Patients may display hypertriglyceridemia, severe fatty liver disease and little or no adipose tissue. [8] Average patient lifespan is approximately 30 years before death, with liver failure being the usual cause of death. [8]
Human infectious diseases may be characterized by their case fatality rate (CFR), the proportion of people diagnosed with a disease who die from it (cf. mortality rate).It should not be confused with the infection fatality rate (IFR), the estimated proportion of people infected by a disease-causing agent, including asymptomatic and undiagnosed infections, who die from the disease.
Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD), also known as Austin disease, [1] or mucosulfatidosis, [1] is a very rare autosomal recessive [2] lysosomal storage disease [3] caused by a deficiency in multiple sulfatase enzymes, or in formylglycine-generating enzyme, which activates sulfatases.
