Metabolic Disorders Flashcards
Inborn Errors of Metabolism
- inherited enzyme defects
- ethnic predilections
- usually autosomal recessive
Gaucher Disease
- most common lysosomal storage disease
- common in Ashkenazic Jews**
- glucocerebrosidase deficiency**
- hepatosplenomegaly
- anemia**
- thrombocytopenia
- honey-combed mandibular radiolucencies**
GGAA G: Gaucher G: glucocerebrosidase A: Ashkenazic A: anemia
Glycogen Storage Disease
- unable to convert glycogen–>glucose
- hepatomegaly
- hypoglycemia
- macroglossia
- periodontal disease
- masticatory muscle pain
- bleeding tendency
Defects in Cholesterol and Lipoprotein Metabolism
- chylomicrons: carry triglycerides to the liver
- VLDL: carry triglycerides and cholesterol to tissues
- LDL: promotes atherosclerosis
- HDL:
Cutaneous xanthomas
- associated with problems with cholesterol metabolism
2. lesions in the skin
Xanthelasma
- associated with problems with cholesterol metabolism
2. white/yellow plaques around the eyelids
Hyperhomocysteinemia
- error in cysteine metabolism
2. causes carotid stenosis and increased stroke risk
Homocystinuria
- autosomal recessive inheritance
- increased risk of heart attacks and strokes
- error in amino acid metabolism
Porphyrias
- abnormal hemoglobin metabolism
- most variants are clinically insignificant
- clinically SIGNIFICANT DRUG INDUCED
Clinical Features of Porphyrias
- tachycardia
- hypertension–>postural hypotension
- respiratory difficulty
- convulsions
- neuropsychiatric disturbances
- autonomic dysfunction
- SIADH–>hyponatremia
- red urine (due to altered heme metabolism)
General Management of Porphyrias
- discontinue triggering drug (if there is one)
- decrease 5-aminolevulinic acid
- discontinue alcohol (trigger)
What is contraindicated for porphyrias?
- anesthetics
- analgesics
- antimicrobials
- anxiolytics
Red, fluorescent teeth are associated with __
porphyrias
Hemochromatosis
- hemosiderin deposition
- multiple organ damage, especially liver
- causes bleeding and clotting problems, hyperpigmentation
Xeroderm pigmentosum
- disorder of defective DNA repair
- autosomal recessive
- increased skin cancer
- increased oral cancer**
Dyskeratosis congenital
- disorder of defective DNA repair
- abnormal skin pigmentation
- bone marrow failure
- increased skin, oral, GI cancer**
- autosomal recessive**
Glucsoe-6-phosphatase dehydrogenase deficiency
- most common enzyme deficiency in humans
- hemolysis
- methemaglobinemia
- multiple drug triggers
- multiple food triggers
Malignant Hyperthermia
- triggered by drugs or general anesthesia
- Tachypnea, tachycardia, rapid hypertension, hyperthermia, arrhythmia, DIC
- 80% mortality if left untreated
Dental Aspects - Malignant Hyperthermia
- AVOID epinephrine
- AVOID stress/anxiety/pain
- AVOID anxiolytics
Methemaglobinemia
- cannot carry oxygen
- multiple triggers: inorganic agents, organic nitrites/nitrates, various other agents
- treated with methylene blue and ascorbic acid
Amyloidosis
- acquired metabolic disorder
- eosinophilic, hyaline protein
AMyloiDosis: acquired metabolic disorder
Primary Amyloidosis
- immunoglobulin light chain over-production
2. myeloma-associated
Secondary Amyloidosis
- most common type
2. excessive stimulation of RE system or inflammatory diseases
Dental Aspects - Amyloidosis
- macroglossia
- gingival enlargement
- mucosal petechiae
- biopsy: stain with Congo red, view with polarized light
AMY has a big mouth
Metabolic Syndrome
- risk factors for ischemic heart disease, diabetes, stroke
* *hypertension
* *insulin resistance
* *obesity
* *dyslipidema - 2X ischemic heart disease risk
- 5X diabetes risk
