Niemann-Pick Disease
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Niemann-Pick disease is a rare inherited disorder in which the body does not properly process certain fats, which end up building up in different organs. It is one of the so-called storage diseases.
How it may present: depending on the type and age of onset, it can affect the liver, spleen, nervous system, and other organs, with a highly variable course from person to person.
Why the workup is important: since it has a genetic origin, its evaluation requires a specialized approach in order to understand each case individually.
The geneticist and the internist are the professionals who guide its evaluation and follow-up. If there is a condition of this type in your family or the suspicion has been raised, a specialized visit makes it possible to study it with the detail it deserves.
