<p><b>New page</b></p><div>It is a subject that, regrettably, is quite near my heart. My grandmother, who practically raised me while my mom was out working, suffered from Gaucher Disease until the day she died. As a young person, I did not know what it had been. My grandmother was a proud woman and didn't speak about it. I only knew because my mother told me. After she passed on and I got older, I decided I had to learn precisely what it was that took my grandmother. This article provides you with the fundamental factual statements about what Gaucher Disease is and what treatments can be obtained.<br />
<br />
First thing that surprised me to learn was that [http://www.gaucherdisease.info Gaucher Disease] is most frequent among people that are either Jewish or from Eastern or Central Europe. Coming from a Jewish home, it explained a lot to me. Another thing that i learned that also surprised, and also scared me was that Gaucher Disease is also inherited, meaning it's passed on from your own parents. The chances of inheriting the disease decrease with each generation that the disease itself doesn't show up. In my own family, it is now 3 generations since, so we're probably pretty safe now.<br />
<br />
So what is Gaucher Disease? Well, it's a genetic mutation that effects organs such as the liver and spleen. The actual infection is due to an enzyme deficiency that consequently causes fatty substances to build up in these organs. In my grandmother's case it absolutely was in both her liver and her spleen. The disease causes an enlargement of those organs. This explains why my grandmother, who weighed most of 80 pounds, looked like she had a basketball in her stomach.<br />
<br />
You can find, unfortunately, additional symptoms besides an enlarged liver or spleen. Other medical indications include issues with blood clotting, easy bruising, fractures for no apparent reason, as well as bleeding when brushing tooth.<br />
<br />
Detecting if some body has Gaucher Disease is just a simple matter. A blood test is all that is needed. The enzyme deficiency will show in the liver and spleen. There are three types of Gaucher Disease, but type one is the most frequent and the type that my grandmother suffered from.<br />
<br />
Fortuitously, we have come quite a distance considering that the 60s, when my grandmother suffered from this disease until she passed away in 1974. Today, you can find enzyme replacement therapies which are actually quite effective in treating Gaucher Disease. Also, a great diet, reduced in fatty foods and meats, high in fruits and vegetable, will even help in battle this illness.<br />
<br />
Those people who are experiencing this disease can actually live a long time with it. My grandmother developed this disease very young in life and still lived to be 66 years old.<br />
<br />
In the event that you or a cherished one is suffering from Gaucher Disease, there is hope. Please visit your doctor and ask him what treatments are available in your area.</div>Wed, 22 Feb 2012 06:45:15 GMTBeallKillen712http://beta.aalf.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:BeallKillen712
