  • The mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis of Wilson's disease include high serum copper level, accumulation of the copper in the liver, and deposition of the copper in different organs resulting in ultimate injury and organ damage. (wikidoc.org)
  • The increase of copper level will lead to accumulation of the excess amount in the liver and other organs. (wikidoc.org)

(mdlinx.com)
  • There are multiple types of mitochondrial diseases. (mdlinx.com)
  • Mitochondrial diseases are caused by mutations to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) gene or a mutation in a nuclear gene (nDNA). (mdlinx.com)

Adults2
  • Because people with HIV-associated immunocompromise are at risk for severe manifestations of monkeypox, the HIV status of all sexually active adults and adolescents with suspected or confirmed monkeypox should be determined. (cdc.gov)

  • A symptom complex associated with CARCINOID TUMOR and characterized by attacks of severe flushing of the skin, diarrheal watery stools, bronchoconstriction, sudden drops in blood pressure, edema, and ascites. (harvard.edu)

Kidneys1
  • The nervous system, the brain, the heart, the liver, the kidneys, and the muscles are often impacted-depending on the gene affected. (mdlinx.com)
Cause of chronic liver2
Deficiency4
  • Gaucher disease is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. (nih.gov)
