Fatigue
- And if your blood sugar is high, you might notice the signs and symptoms of diabetes — such as increased thirst and urination, fatigue, and blurred vision.[mayoclinic.org]
- The patient is readily fatigued and daily routines will take longer. Memory is often affected from an early stage and the patient becomes apathetic and sluggish. Some patients may also show low mood and irritability.[alzheimer-europe.org]
- Hypothyroidism slows body processes and causes fatigue (tiredness), slow heart rate, excessive weight gain, and constipation. Kids and teens with this condition can be treated with oral thyroid hormone.[kidshealth.org]
- Symptoms of high blood sugar often include increased thirst; increased urination, especially at night; fatigue (tiredness); and blurred vision. High blood pressure usually has no signs or symptoms.[medicinenet.com]

Musculoskeletal
Muscle Weakness

- Neurological disturbances are often reported with deafness, slurred speech, a gruff husky voice, muscle cramps and muscle weaknesses and carpal tunnel syndrome at the wrists.[alzheimer-europe.org]
Urogenital
Renal Injury
- The underlying pathogenesis of metabolic disease-related renal injury remains obscure.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Seizure
- A 4-month-old female baby visited an outpatient clinic due to poor weight gain, repeated seizure-like episodes, developmental delay, and unexplained hepatomegaly with abnormal liver function test results.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Life-threatening symptoms, such as breathing problems, seizure and organ failure can occur with acute metabolic disturbance, such as too much alcohol.[houstonmethodist.org]
- Symptoms of Inherited Metabolic Diseases can include a failure to thrive, seizures and other neurologic disorders, developmental delays, abnormal blood tests and hypotonia (abnormal loss of muscle tone).[mountsinaifpa.org]
- Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia is characterized by seizures, low muscle tone, hiccups, breath holding, and severe developmental impairment.[britannica.com]
- Some of the symptoms that can occur with metabolic disorders are lethargy, weight loss, jaundice and seizures. The symptoms expressed would vary with the type of metabolic disorder.[en.wikipedia.org]
Peripheral Neuropathy
- Examples of conditions that come in genetically determined and nongenetic types include dementias of the subtypes Alzheimer, Pick, frontotemporal, Parkinson disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and peripheral neuropathies.[emedicine.medscape.com]
Apathy
- Other symptoms of kwashiorkor include apathy, hair discoloration, and dry, peeling skin with sores that fail to heal.[britannica.com]
Treatment
- As in the first edition, treatment is discussed extensively. Details are given for dietary treatment and drug administrations in acute situations, during infections and in maintenance treatment.[books.google.com]
- This system has therefore generated great interest as a potential target for treatment of obesity.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Cardiac screening of patients with metabolic diseases is important to guide treatment and stratify risk.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Here, we provide a brief overview of progress in miRNA-based therapeutics in the preclinical and clinical setting and highlight the novel outcomes and opportunities in the diagnosis and treatment of metabolic conditions.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- These findings point to a novel avenue of treatment for these disorders of intermediary metabolism, and indicate the importance of microbial gut flora in normal human metabolism.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
- BACKGROUND: Recent data suggest that the presence of associated metabolic abnormalities may be important modifiers of the association of obesity with a poorer prognosis in coronary heart disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- […] lipid and glucose metabolism and their role in the pathogenesis of metabolic disorders such as diabetes and obesity, where dysregulation leads to disease; they are also important in angiogenesis. miRNAs additionally serve as biomarkers in the diagnosis, prognosis[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Approximately 50 percent of persons with homocystinuria are responsive to treatment with vitamin B 6 (pyridoxine), and these individuals tend to have a better intellectual prognosis.[britannica.com]
Etiology
- In pediatric patients, its main etiology is infectious diseases. We present a previously healthy adolescent who was admitted to our emergency department with a four-day history of myalgia, muscle weakness and dark urine.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- Rare inherited metabolic diseases with neurological and gastrointestinal manifestations can be misdiagnosed as other diseases or remain as disorders with indeterminate etiologies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- However, the exact mechanisms that link specific variations in the composition of the gut microbiota with the development of obesity and metabolic diseases in humans remain obscure owing to the complex etiology of these pathologies.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Epidemiology
- PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review summarises and discusses the epidemiological evidence suggesting a causal relationship between sleep duration and cardio-metabolic risk and outcomes in population.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- This brief review will highlight recent epidemiological and experimental studies linking paternal overnutrition, undernutrition, and other forms of stress, to metabolic disease in the offspring.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- The first of this two-part review discusses the epidemiologic evidence in support of the existence of an association between these risk factors with cardiovascular and metabolic disease.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- To outline possible future directions in genetic epidemiological research with Māori and Pacific communities.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
- High-level evidence-based and epidemiological and mechanism studies should be carried out to further interpret and explain of the scientific connotation of GLMD.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
