Gaucher cells are pathological cells that are formed as a result of metabolic disorders in the body. They are granular structures that contain large amounts of fat and cholesterol.

Gaucher cells are formed in various organs and tissues, but they are most often found in the liver, spleen, lungs and bone marrow. The appearance of Gaucher cells can be caused by various diseases, such as Gaucher disease, mucopolysaccharidosis, deficiency of the enzyme galactosylceramidase and others.

Gaucher disease is a hereditary disease that is associated with metabolic disorders. It manifests itself as an enlarged liver and spleen, as well as various symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, joint and muscle pain.

Treatment for Gaucher cells depends on the cause of their appearance. In some cases, surgery or organ transplantation may be required. Various medications are also used to help reduce the number of gauche cells in the body.

It is important to note that Gaucher cells can be hazardous to health, so it is necessary to promptly consult a doctor if symptoms of the disease appear.

Homozygous forms of galactocerebrosidase are recessive and not viable, so mainly heterozygous carriers are affected. The clinical picture is similar to the clinical picture of childhood amaurosis. Severe microcephaly, coarse facial features, cranial nerve palsies, hepatosplenomegaly, mental retardation, impaired motor coordination, and in severe cases, cirrhosis of the liver, gangrene and skin necrosis are observed. Treatment is carried out with the help of enzyme preparations and symptomatic remedies. Galactocerebosis or Homocystinuria is an inherited disease in which the amount of the abnormal amino acid homocysteine ​​is increased.
