Summaries for Hypoascorbemia

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 53 Scurvy is a condition that develops in people who do not consume an adequate amount of vitamin C in their diet. Although scurvy is relatively rare in the United States, it continues to be a problem in malnourished populations around the world (such as impoverished, underdeveloped third world countries). Early features of the condition include general weakness, fatigue and aching limbs. If left untreated, more serious problems can develop such as anemia, gum disease, and skin hemorrhages. Symptoms generally develop after at least 3 months of severe or total vitamin C deficiency. Scurvy can be cured with vitamin C supplements taken by mouth. Once recovery is complete, dietary modifications to ensure the "recommended daily intake" of vitamin C is reached will prevent relapse. Except in the case of severe dental disease, permanent damage from scurvy does not usually occur.

MalaCards based summary : Hypoascorbemia, also known as scurvy, is related to iron-refractory iron deficiency anemia and osmotic diarrhea. An important gene associated with Hypoascorbemia is GULOP (Gulonolactone (L-) Oxidase, Pseudogene). The drugs Acetylcholine and Ergocalciferol have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include skin, bone and myeloid, and related phenotypes are abnormality of metabolism/homeostasis and Negative genetic interaction between KRASG13D/+ and KRAS+/-

MedlinePlus : 43 Vitamins are substances that your body needs to grow and develop normally. Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It is important for your skin, bones, and connective tissue. It promotes healing and helps the body absorb iron. Vitamin C comes from fruits and vegetables. Good sources include citrus, red and green peppers, tomatoes, broccoli, and greens. Some juices and cereals have added vitamin C. Some people may need extra vitamin C: Pregnant/breastfeeding women Smokers People recovering from surgery Burn victims

Wikipedia : 76 Scurvy is a disease resulting from a lack of vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Early symptoms include weakness,... more...
