About Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E1-Beta Deficiency, also known as pdhbd, is related to pyruvate dehydrogenase e1-alpha deficiency and oxoglutarate dehydrogenase deficiency. An important gene associated with Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E1-Beta Deficiency is PDHB (Pyruvate Dehydrogenase E1 Subunit Beta). The drugs Strawberry and Pyruvate have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include eye, skeletal muscle and brain, and related phenotypes are agenesis of corpus callosum and abnormal facial shape

Major Symptoms of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency (PDD) is an inherited metabolic disease whose main symptoms include:

1. Fatigue: Patients often feel tired and weak, even after light activity.

2. Loss of appetite: People with PDD may lose interest in food, leading to weight loss.

3. Vomiting: Patients may vomit, especially after eating or when feeling nauseous.

4. Diarrhea: People with PDD may experience diarrhea, usually due to acid reflux.

It should be noted that these symptoms may not occur in all patients with PDD, and the specific situation needs to be evaluated based on the patient's genotype and condition. If you have symptoms related to PDD, it is recommended to seek medical treatment promptly and receive professional diagnosis and treatment.

Suitable Lifestyle for People with Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Deficiency

For patients with Pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency (PDD), an appropriate lifestyle includes:

1. Diet adjustment: avoid excessive protein intake, increase carbohydrate intake, and maintain a balanced diet.

2. Moderate exercise: According to the patient's own physical condition and the doctor's advice, exercise appropriately, such as walking, jogging, etc.
