BIOCHEMISTRY: METABOLIC DISORDERS.







Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency
Congenital or acquiered (as in alcoholic due to B1 deficiency)

Neurologic defect, Lactic acidosis
Increase intake of ketogenic nutrients
(high fat content or ↑ lysine/leucine)
Gkucose-6-phosphate dehydregenase deficiency
X-linked recessive
Most common human enzyme deficiency,more prevalent among black, ↑malarial resistance
↓NADPH in RBCs leads to hemolytic anemia. Heinz bodies, Bite cells

NADPH oxidase deficiency
Chronic granulomatous disease
Defect in microbicidal activity of neutrophils
Marked susceptibility to opportunistic infections
Diagnosis with negative nitroblue tetrazolium dye reduction test
Fructokinase deficiency
Essential fructosuria
Autosomal recessive
Bening-milder symptoms than analogous disorder of galactose metabolism

Fructose appear in blood and urine

Aldolase B deficieny
Fructose intolerance
Autosomal recessive
Fructose-1-phosphate accumulated.
Inhibits glucogenolysis and gluconeogenesis
Hypoglycemia
Jaundice
Cirrhosis
Vomitnig

↓intake of fructose and sucrose (glucose +fructose)
Galactokinase deficiency
Autosomal recessive
Galactitol accumulate if galactosa is present in diet
Galactose appear in bood/urine
Infantile cataracts
Failure to track obj./develop social smile



Galatose-1-phosphate uridyl
transferase


Autosomal recessive


Accumulation of toxic substances (galactitol)


Failure to thrive
Jaundice
Hepatomegaly
Infantile cataracts
Mental retardation


Exclude galactose and lactose ( galactose  + glucose) from diet
Lactose deficiency
Age dependent or hereditary
Loss of brush border enzyme, also fallow to gastroenteritis
Bloating
Cramps
Osmotic diarrhea
Avoid dairy product or add lactose pills to diet
