INTRODUCTION

Adrenoleukodystrophy disorder is a genetic disorder, following the X-linked inheritance. It is known as paroxysmal disorder because of abnormal metabolism of fatty acid known as very-long-chain fatty acid. The fatality rate is too high because of the severity of the disease and the prognosis is poor. When the mutation starts then Very long-chain fatty acids levels are elevated and it reduces fatty acids oxidation. Vision loss, learning disabilities, difficulty while swallowing, seizures, headache, progressive hearing loss, lack of coordination and balance, vomiting, weight loss etc are some of the symptoms of Adrenoleukodystrophy disease. Mutation of ABCD1 gene, build up of fatty acid in adrenal gland etc are some of the cause of Adrenoleukodystrophy disorder. Only symptomatic treatment is there and no proper treatment that means permanent cure is there.

Ayurvedic Treatment of Cystic fibrosis - Symptoms & Complications

ABOUT CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Cystic fibrosis is a progressive, genetic disorder which causes severe damage to the lungs, pancreas, intestines, liver, and other organs of the body. This disorder is caused by a defective gene; and it affects the cells which produce secreted fluids --- mucus, sweat and digestive juices.

In people suffering from Cystic fibrosis, the salt in sweat increases and the secreted fluids (which are usually thin and slimy) become thick and sticky because of a mutation in the CF gene on chromosome 7. As a result, the secretions are no longer able to act as lubricants. Instead, they clog the tubes, ducts and passageways in the body, particularly in the lungs and pancreas.

The clogging of the airways due to a thick and clammy build-up of mucus in the respiratory, digestive and reproductive systems can trigger potentially life-threatening health conditions in people affected by Cystic fibrosis.

Hence, early diagnosis -- specifically newborn screening -- of Cystic fibrosis and its proper treatment are very crucial, for improving the quality of life of the sufferers and for increasing their lifespan.

COMPLICATIONS LINKED TO CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Some of the serious conditions which can be result of Cystic fibrosis include complications associated with the respiratory system, the digestive system, and the reproductive system.

Complications Related to Respiratory System:

• Respiratory failure
• Bronchiectasis (damaged airways)
• Haemoptysis (coughing up blood)
• Nasal polyps (growths in the nose)
• Pneumothorax (which can cause breathlessness and chest pain)
• Acute exacerbations
• Chronic infections

Complications Related to Digestive System:

• Intestinal obstruction
• Diabetes
• Nutritional deficiencies
• Blocked bile duct
• Distal intestinal obstruction syndrome (DIOS)

Complications Related to Reproductive System:

In men affected by Cystic fibrosis, the most prominent reproductive system-linked complication is infertility; and, in women affected by Cystic fibrosis, the chances of fertility are lower as compared to other women.

SYMPTOMS OF CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Some of the common indications of Cystic fibrosis are:

• Recurring lung infections including bronchitis or pneumonia
• Unrelenting cough, sometimes with phlegm
• Shortness of breath or wheezing
• Extremely salty-tasting skin
• Difficulty with bowel movements
• Frequent bulky/greasy stools
• Stuffy sinuses
• Constipation or swelling in abdomen
• Poor/delayed growth despite of a good appetite
• Infertility.
