Crigler Najjar Syndrome Type I
Condition Overview: Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I is a very rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by the complete absence of the enzyme uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UDPGT), which is normally found in the liver. This enzyme is required for the conversion (conjugation) and subsequent excretion of bilirubin from the body. When UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity is absent, these metabolic processes are hampered and abnormally high levels of bilirubin accumulate in the blood (hyperbilirubinemia).Within the first few days of life, most infants with Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I develop persistent yellowing of the skin, mucous membranes, and whites of the eyes (jaundice). In addition, some affected individuals may develop kernicterus, a potentially life-threatening neurological condition in which toxic levels of bilirubin accumulate in the brain, causing damage to the central nervous system. Early signs of kernicterus may include lack of energy (lethargy), vomiting, fever, and/or unsatisfactory feedings. More serious signs of kernicterus may develop, including abnormal muscle rigidity, resulting in muscle spasms (dystonia) and involuntary movements of the limbs and/or entire body (athetosis). Crigler-Najjar syndrome type I is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic trait. . |
"Homeopathy cares for a larger percentage of cases than any other method of treatment." - Mahatma Gandhi
"The introduction of Homeopathy forced the old school doctor to stir around and learn something of a rational nature about his business. You may honestly feel grateful that homeopathy survived the attempts of the orthodox Physicians to destroy it." - Mark Twain
