Patient's question:
The thorough checks have been mostly completed, and the indicators are generally normal. The current issues are hepatosplenomegaly and short stature.Past Treatment and Effects:
The disease was only recently diagnosed, and no treatment has been implemented yet.
Type of Help Needed:
The Nanjing Children's Hospital recommends a liver transplant surgery. I would like to know which hospital currently can perform this surgery more effectively and improve it. Additionally, what is the approximate cost involved?
Doctor's answer:
Niemann-Pick disease, also known as sphingolipidosis, is a congenital glycolipid metabolic disorder. Its characteristic is the presence of a large number of foam cells containing sphingomyelin in the entire mononuclear phagocytic system and the nervous system, and it is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. In your case, it is recommended that you go to a professional absorption surgery hospital for a follow-up examination and implement liver transplantation surgery as early as possible; the specific charging situation depends on the condition and the hospital. I hope my advice is helpful to you. The above is my suggestion on the question of "the child suffers from Niemann-Pick disease," and I hope it is helpful to you. Wish you health!
