	Metabolic disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Most metabolic disorders are genetic, though a few are "acquired" as a result of diet, toxins, infections, etc. Genetic metabolic disorders are also known as inborn errors of metabolism.
		In general, the genetic metabolic disorders are caused by genetic defects that result in missing or improperly constructed enzymes necessary for some step in the metabolic process of the cell.
		Mitochondrial disorders -- disorders affecting the mitochondria which are the central "powerhouses" of the cells.

		The names and terminologies of these disorders are confusing because they were derived from the pathologic literature before their metabolic defects were discovered.
		This is a lysosomal disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance.
		Wilson’s disease (hepatolenticular degeneration) is an autosomal recessive disorder of copper metabolism.

	Treatment of Metabolic Disorders at Mayo Clinic
		Treatment for metabolic disorders is tailored to each individual, and depends on numerous variables, including the type and severity of the metabolic disorder, the extent the disorder has affected the patient's brain and body functions, options for appropriate clinical trials and other considerations.
		Metabolic disorders refer to a broad array of medical problems caused by inherited genetic defects that interfere with the body's metabolism.
		Metabolic disorders are classified into types based on the components of the cell involved, biochemical pathways and which enzyme is affected.

		Metabolism is the physiological and biochemical mechanisms by which foodstuffs are taken in by the body and converted from one form to another to provide energy for all the activities of the body.
		Some inherited metabolic disorders are fatal in the first weeks or months of postnatal life, for example, severe defects in the conversion of pyruvate to acetyl coenzyme A (CoA), some urea cycle defects, and severe defects in the processing of fructose.
		In the period from the 1960s to the early 1980s, research on the molecular basis of inherited disorders of metabolism assumed that these were largely due to a point mutation in the peptide chain of the relevant enzyme.

	Kennedy Krieger Institute: Metabolic Disorders
		Genetic metabolic diseases are congenital errors of the body’s chemistry that affect the way in which food is assimilated, energy generated, and tissue growth enabled.
		Most metabolic disorders are caused by the genetic deficiency of an enzyme that is needed to convert one chemical into another.
		Although each metabolic disease individually is rare, there are more than 1300 known metabolic diseases, and collectively they represent a significant cause of illness and disability in children.

		Milk fever is a complex metabolic disorder that occurs at the onset of lactation.
		The transition from the pregnant, nonlactating state to the nonpregnant lactating state is too often a disastrous experience for the dairy cow, as is evidenced by the high incidence of metabolic and infectious disease that occur during this period.

	Introduction: Hereditary Metabolic Disorders: Merck Manual Home Edition
		Metabolic disorders are classified by the particular building block that is affected.
		Some hereditary disorders of metabolism (such as phenylketonuria and the lipidoses) can be diagnosed in the fetus using amniocentesis or chorionic villus sampling (see Genetic Disorders Detection: Chorionic Villus Sampling).
		Usually, the diagnosis of a hereditary disorder of metabolism is made using a blood test or an examination of a tissue sample to determine whether a specific enzyme is deficient or missing.

	Diagnosis of Metabolic Disorders
		Metabolic disorders are difficult to diagnose because there are thousands of them and symptoms can mimic more common diseases or conditions.
		Patients diagnosed with a metabolic disorder and their families will receive counseling from medical specialists in genetics to explain the diagnosis and the role of inherited genes.
		MRI may be used to determine whether the patient has a metabolic disorder or to measure how the metabolic disorder has affected the brain.

		Metabolic disorders refers to diseases or disorders of the internal body chemistry that causes the body's metabolism.
		The term metabolic disorders usually does not include hormonal disorders or endocrine disorders which refer to the interactions between body glands and hormones.
		With a diagnosis of Metabolic disorders, it is also important to consider whether there is an underlying condition causing Metabolic disorders.

		Although many endocrine disorders that affect adults can affect children, the disorders may produce different symptoms in children.
		Metabolism is the chemical activity that occurs in cells, releasing energy from nutrients or using energy to create other substances, such as proteins.
		The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is a measurement of energy required to keep the body functioning at rest.

	Metabolic syndrome signs, symptoms, causes, treatment and prevention on MedicineNet.com
		An association between certain metabolic disorders and cardiovascular disease has been known since the 1940s.
		In the 1980s this association became more clearly defined and the term metabolic syndrome (also known as syndrome X or the dysmetabolic syndrome) was coined to designate a cluster of metabolic risk factors that come together in a single individual.
		The main features of metabolic syndrome include insulin resistance, hypertension (high blood pressure), cholesterol abnormalities, and an increased risk for clotting.

		Although all patients with epilepsy have seizures, the converse is not necessarily true, particularly for patients with seizures from metabolic disturbances.
		With the exception of certain inborn errors of metabolism, most acute metabolic derangements that present with seizures are treatable and reversible with specific interventions.
		Because AEDs alone are generally of limited benefit, and acute metabolic derangements can be fatal if untreated, neurologists must consider this group of disorders when patients present with new-onset seizures or when patients with epilepsy have an unexplained worsening of seizure frequency or severity.

		Confluent and reticulated papillomatosis of Gougerot and Carteaud is an unusual condition, resembling acanthosis nigricans but with a more central distribution.
		The etiology is unclear, but some authors have implicated Pityrosporum and metabolic disturbances, while other patients clearly show a familial component.
