Metabolic diseases

Select the specialist and schedule your appointment

The term metabolism refers to all chemical reactions occurring in a human body. Thanks to these processes our body cells perform their vital functions. Metabolic diseases occur when errors happen during these processes.

Types of metabolic diseases.

These diseases can be congenital or acquired. Some of them are fatal diseases, but with the other one can live a completely normal life, following medical guidelines. Metabolic diseases are for example diabetes, phenylketonuria, lipid disorders, osteoporosis, alkaptonuria, Wilson’s disease.

When is it a good idea to seek medical assistance?

As metabolic diseases differ so much, their causes and symptoms vary as well. We should consult a specialist when we feel bad, but also for example when the results of our basic medical tests fall outside the normal range.
