Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain metabolic diseases in general terms and point to screening, specialist care and patient organisations, without diagnosis or personal medical advice.

A disease or disorder that disrupts normal metabolism, the chemical processes by which the body converts food into energy and building blocks, including inherited metabolic disorders such as phenylketonuria and acquired conditions such as type 2 diabetes.

What it is for: A broad health category relevant to screening, diet and specialist care.

It can be explain categories of metabolic disease; find newborn screening information; find specialist metabolic services; find patient support organisations.

Distinguishing features

Disrupts biochemical processes

Inherited or acquired

Often managed with diet and medicines

Some detected by newborn screening

What it looks like

Signs vary widely and often need laboratory testing to identify.

How it is recognised

Inherited errors of metabolism

Acquired metabolic conditions

Metabolic syndrome is a related cluster of risk factors
