hello
does anyone have a reference about what a "metabolic disorder/disease" or a "disorder of metabolism" is?
first, there are all these rare inherited metabolic disorders like phenylketonuria
second, there are all these endocrine disorders, like diabetes, thyreoidism disorders, etc
third, there are all these disorders that have some kind of primary/causative or secondary endocrine or metabolic disorder, examples:
crohn disease (an autoimmune and not metabolic disorder) leads to bleeding and thus ferrus metabolism disorder
chronic renal failure (not a metabolic disorder) leads to amino acid metabolism disorder, since amino acids are not reabsorbed
chonic heart failure (not a metabolic disorder) leads to cardiac cachexia (a metabolic disorder of muscle wasting)
so is there a clear definition of what a metabolic disorder is called?
are these only the inherited (or inborn) metabolic disorders, where an enzyme is not functioning well or is not present at adequate amounts?
or other diseases are included?
thanks
