Patient's question:
My baby is four months old. She has just overcome the life-threatening danger of a genetic metabolic disease. Her symptoms include difficulty breathing, high intracranial pressure, crying out in distress, high lactate levels, and significantly enlarged liver and kidneys. Could you screen to determine what substance her metabolism is having trouble breaking down? Will there be any long-term effects? Will she have physical disabilities or intellectual impairments?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you are worried about your child's intellectual issues and are very troubled by it. Specifically, the difficulty in decomposing and metabolizing certain substances can be screened for. The probability of sequelae in the liver and kidneys is relatively high. The limbs should never be disabled, and the probability of intellectual interference is also low. I hope you are happy. In addition, patients should develop a regular lifestyle, adhere to treatment, maintain a light diet, and engage in aerobic exercise to boost their immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
