Accumulation of GALACTITOL
within the lens cells leads to
increased intracellular osmotic
pressure and fluid influx into the
lens and in the brain.
The deficiency of formation of
UDP-Glucose interferes with
the storage of glucose in the
form of glycogen, in the
formation of UDP-Glucoronic
acid for the conjugation of
bilirubin and the accumulation
of galactose in the liver and
kidney
