Heubner-Herter's Disease

Heubner-Herter disease is a rare hereditary disease that affects the human urinary system. It is associated with decreased kidney function and can cause serious complications, including kidney failure and diabetes.

Sometimes the disease occurs in children, but more often in adult men over 5

Geibnerov-Gerterova or otherwise known as Fr. and. l. Heinberger Huberter (German pediatrician) Hathers Herter (American physician and pharmacologist, April 24, 1780 - September 5, 1870)

For many years he was rightfully considered the father of pediatrics. As a pioneer of pediatrics and pediatric surgery, he had a great influence on the development of pediatrics as an independent medical discipline. Heinberger made significant contributions to the theory of infant feeding. He called the newborn's first food drops of his breast milk, obtained with the help of a pacifier after feeding. The experiments and observations he carried out



Heubner-Herter disease is a rare disease that occurs due to a disorder in the metabolism of serotonin and dopamine in the body.

The disease got its name in honor of two scientists who discovered its causes and consequences: German pediatrician Otto Heubner (O.J.L. Heubner, 1844 - 1928) and American pharmacologist Samuel Herter (S.A. Herter, 1870 - 1954).

In the period from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, the “Theories of Harmony and Balance” prevailed. These theories explained the behavior of an organism as the combined action of several strong factors (“essential”). One of these factors was the counting of time one minute after a person's pulse, and after some time it was believed that not one, as assumed, but several factors were involved in this disease. In this case, a decrease in the amount of hormones dopamine and serotonin provoked the development of the disease.
