Birth defects .... Metabolic diseases .. Kidney 3
Posted in 2013
Oxalosis is another rare disease.   In this disease the liver cells lack an enzyme (an active protein)
that breaks down oxalate, which is a compound made in the natural functioning of the liver cell.
Oxalate then accumulates, spills into blood, links with calcium, and calcium oxalate deposits in 
the kidney and then in tissues all over the body. The kidney is first, since the kidney tries to get
rid of the excess calcium oxalate out of the blood by filtering it out, and in the process the kidney 
is stopped up with calcium oxalate,    Deposits of crystals are found throughout the kidney and
stones form also.   When there is little or no enzyme in the liver to break down oxalate, the
problems ensue quickly in infancy and complete kidney failure can be seen in the first year of life.
If there is some enzyme, but not enough, then kidney failure can ensue later in childhood.
In the child with oxalosis, putting in a new kidney alone is not the solution, since the new kidney
will be stopped up with calcium oxalate.   A liver transplant must be done to give the child the
enzyme to handle oxalate, and then a kidney transplant can be done.    This is one of the 
diseases that will be treated with gene therapy.  If the gene could be placed in the liver to tell 
it how to break down oxalate, then there would be no problem, as the liver is otherwise normal.
Other metabolic diseases that may lead to kidney failure include:
Lowe's syndrome, the mitochondrial myopathies, particularly cytochrome C oxidase deficiency,
certain glycogen storage diseases, ect...........


 My advise
1...  Practice long breathing
2.... Eat fresh vegetables and fruits

Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Poor sleep in Pregnancy causes pre-term or low birth weight Posted in 2014 Pregnancy can pose serious challenges to sleeping well. Poor quality and too little sleep are common during pregnancy, when many women experience fragmented sleep and symptoms of insomnia. Even women who don’t generally experience sleep problems find that during pregnancy they have difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, as well as trouble getting enough sleep. We talk a lot about sleep issues for new mothers. But new research   suggests we should be paying more attention to the sleep health of expectant mothers as well. Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center found   links between both the quality and quantity of pregnant women’s sleep and complications at birth, including low birth weight and pre-term births. The link betw

Fibre deficiency during Pregnancy...4

Fiber deficiency during Pregnancy...4 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info   7...  Why do we need to eat fibre? It used to be called “roughage”, and people tried to get rid of it.  Now we have heard plenty about it, but why do we need fibre in our diet? Dietary fibre is actually a form of  carbohydrate that does not get digested by enzymes in our small intestine, and so its sugar units are not absorbed into the bloodstream.  Dietary fibre is therefore known as ‘non-glyceami"‘. However, fibre has important effects on other nutrients within the small intestine and through effects on the large intestine, where few other nutrients arrive intact.  It has a range of valuable health effects: Smooths out digestion and absorption of glucose and fats in the small intestine.  It reduces the Glycaemic index of a meal. Provides fuel for the healthful or  good bacteria in our large intestine  which in turn benefit us by making Vitamin
