Malabsorption of glucose-galactose is a disease inherited by an autosomal recessive type associated with the pathology of the glucose transport protein and galactose. There are mutations in the chromosome of the 22 gene that encodes the protein. With this disease in the intestine, the absorption of monosaccharides is impaired, which provokes osmotic diarrhea, which quickly leads to dehydration. Perhaps a violation of the reabsorption of glucose in the tubules of the kidneys. Absorption of fructose is not impaired.
Malabsorption (malabsorption syndrome, syndrome of impaired intestinal absorption, chronic diarrhea syndrome, sprue) - inadequate absorption of nutrients due to disruption of digestion, absorption or transport processes.
In the study of kidney disease in children, it is very important to carefully question the mother or the child (if he is older) about those or other disorders of urination and the timing of their appearance.
Madelung disease (lipomatosis) is named after the author who described the disease in 1888. It is extremely rare. The disease is characterized by proliferation of adipose tissue in various areas of the human body.
Vitally modified macular degeneration of Besta. Best's disease is a rarely observed bilateral dystrophy of the retina in the macular area, which looks like a round yellowish focus, similar to a fresh egg yolk, with a diameter of 0.3 to 3 diameters of the optic nerve disk.
Macroheilitis (granulomatous cheilitis Micher) is the leading symptom of the Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome (Rossolimo-Melkersson-Rosenthal). The disease is characterized by a combination of macrochilite, folded tongue and paralysis of the facial nerve. Macroheilitis has a chronic course with alternating periods of exacerbation and remission.
Macroglobulinemia (primary macroglobulinemia, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia) is a malignant plasma-cell disease in which B cells produce large amounts of monoclonal IgM. Manifestations of the disease include increased blood viscosity, bleeding, recurrent infections and generalized adenopathy.
Macrogenia is one of the most severe deformities of the face, ranging from 1.5 to 4.28% of all malocclusion anomalies.
Macroaneurysms of the retinal arteries are represented by local expansion of retinal arterioles, often 1, 2 and 3 orders. The most predisposed to them are elderly women with arterial hypertension; in 90% of cases the process is one-sided.
