About metabolic disorders

About metabolic disorders

Think of your body’s metabolism as a busy factory, working hard to turn food into energy to keep everything running smoothly. However, sometimes, things can go wrong, leading to what we call metabolic disorders. These disorders are usually present from birth and can be found through regular check-ups. Even if they’re not spotted early, they can still be diagnosed later in life when symptoms show up. Genetic factors are usually behind these disorders. A problem with specific genes affects how enzymes work in the body. These enzymes are crucial for metabolism, affecting everything from energy levels to growth.

The symptoms of metabolic disorders can vary, from feeling tired all the time to having seizures. At Doctor Reuter Medical Center, our endocrinology and cardiology experts diagnose metabolic disorders using a combination of family history, medical checks, and tests. Our goal is to detect and prevent complications and provide personalized support for the patient.

Managing metabolic disorders requires a holistic approach. Lifestyle changes are essential, such as adopting heart-healthy physical activity, managing stress, and ensuring adequate rest. Sometimes, medications may also be prescribed to help regulate blood glucose levels or manage obesity.

Early detection through routine screening is key to effectively managing metabolic disorders, as it allows for timely intervention and treatment.
