Inborn errors of metabolism
Definition:- Inborn errors of metabolism occur from a group of rare genetic disorders in which the body cannot metabolize food components normally.
These disorders are usually caused by defects in the enzymes involved in the biochemical pathways that break down food components.
This document provides information about mineral metabolism and copper. It begins with definitions of minerals and their classification as macrominerals or trace elements. It then focuses on copper, discussing its distribution in the body, copper-containing enzymes and their functions, recommended dietary intake, sources, absorption, deficiency disorders like Menkes and Wilson's disease, and conditions associated with copper levels. Menkes disease is an X-linked recessive disorder causing copper deficiency due to problems with intestinal absorption and transport. Wilson's disease results from a genetic defect impairing copper excretion from the liver, leading to copper deposition and damage in various organs.
Hyperammonemia is a medical condition characterized by an abnormally elevated level of ammonia in the bloodstream. It is caused by defects in the urea cycle which is responsible for detoxifying ammonia produced from protein catabolism. Symptoms range from lethargy and vomiting to seizures and coma. Diagnosis involves tests of blood and urine amino acid and organic acid levels as well as genetic testing. Treatment focuses on restricting protein intake, supplementing with alpha-ketoacid derivatives, and administering drugs to conjugate ammonia into excretable compounds to lower blood ammonia levels.
1. The kidneys maintain water and electrolyte balance, blood pH, excrete waste products and toxins, filter the blood, produce erythropoietin, and reabsorb desirable elements.
2. Renal function can be impaired acutely (acute renal failure) or chronically (chronic renal failure). Tests like urea, creatinine, and uric acid help diagnose and monitor kidney function.
3. Kidney diseases include acute tubular necrosis, renal calculi, and gout caused by uric acid crystals. Treatment depends on the underlying cause but may include fluid management, dialysis, and transplantation.
Calcium metabolism can be disrupted, resulting in hypercalcemia or hypocalcemia. Hypercalcemia is caused by increased bone resorption, GI absorption, or decreased renal excretion and may be due to primary hyperparathyroidism, certain cancers, or excessive vitamin D intake. Hypocalcemia occurs when ionized calcium levels decrease below normal due to hypoparathyroidism, vitamin D deficiency, or other conditions. Symptoms of hypercalcemia include fatigue, nausea, and renal problems while hypocalcemia causes muscle spasms, tingling, and seizures. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and severity but aims to restore normal calcium levels through rehydration, diuretics, bisphosphonates
Calcium and phosphorus metabolism are regulated by hormones like calcitriol, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin to maintain normal levels in the body. Calcium is important for bone health, muscle function, and other cellular processes. The majority of calcium is stored in bones. Phosphorus also has important roles in energy storage and cellular processes. Both are absorbed in the small intestine and levels are regulated by hormones and excretion through the kidneys. Abnormal levels can cause diseases like rickets, osteomalacia, and osteoporosis. Dental issues may also arise from metabolic bone diseases like brown tumors and osteitis deformans.
