MM Disease:Cori Disease
Causes:Cori disease is inherited disorder that is caused by the buildup of a complex sugar called glycogen in body's cells. The buildup is structurally abnormal and impairs function of certain organs, especially the liver. There are different types of this disease:IIIa, IIIb, IIIc,IIId.
Symptoms:
- Enlarged liver and kidneys
- Low blood sugar
- High levels of lactate, fats, and uric acid in the blood
- Impaired growth and delayed puberty
- Bone thinning from osteoporosis
- Increased mouth ulcers and infection
Treatment:There is no specific treatment for Cori disease. Usually, diet therapy is very useful. A good diet may reduce liver size and allow reduction in the symptoms. As of now, this is the only treatment that is proven to be useful.
