Acidemia

Acidemia (aka syd Greek αἰσθητική sensual

"insensitive" - ​​chemical element)

is a rare hereditary genetic disease, which is characterized by slow development of the body during intrauterine development and general weakness after birth. The pathology affects the circulatory system, allowing excess carbon dioxide to accumulate in the blood. Patients develop arterial hypoxemia, which leads to significant metabolic disorders. The deficiency of carbonic acid mainly depends on the deficiency of the enzymes necessary for its degradation. These enzymes play a role, among other things, in the metabolism of amino acids and other substances. In the patient's therapy, oxygen therapy is used (connected to an oxygen cylinder via a catheter), methods for correcting carbohydrate metabolism. Correction of electrolyte metabolism is often necessary through the use of special drugs, as well as antibacterial drugs (this is used when complications arise). Heart rhythm disturbances are being treated. In particularly severe cases, bone marrow transplantation is possible.
