| Metabolic disorders refer to different types of medical conditions caused by genetic defects that interfere with the body's metabolism. Metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that the body uses to maintain life, including energy production. Special enzymes break down food or certain chemicals that the body can use for fuel or store them. Some chemical processes break down substances that the body no longer needs, or make those it lacks. When these chemical processes don't work properly due to a hormone or enzyme deficiency, a metabolic disorder occurs. Inherited metabolic disorders fall into different categories, depending on the specific substance and whether it builds up in harmful amounts, it is too low or it's missing. Clinical tests are needed to determine the cause of metabolic disorders. |
