Study Notes
Metabolic Muscle Diseases
- Common symptoms include muscle weakness, pain, and exercise intolerance.
- Biochemical abnormalities often involve enzyme deficiencies affecting metabolism.
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
- Linked to mutations in the dystrophin gene, resulting in muscle degeneration.
Myasthenia Gravis
- Symptoms include muscle fatigue and weakness, particularly in the eyes and limbs.
Bone Turnover Markers
- Specific indicator of bone resorption: C-terminal telopeptide (CTx).
- Indicator of bone formation: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP).
- Used to monitor osteoporosis and assess therapy effectiveness.
Rhabdomyolysis
- Most common cause: muscle injury from overexertion or trauma.
- Main muscle component released during rhabdomyolysis: myoglobin.
- Main management for hypovolemia: aggressive hydration.
- Potential complication includes renal failure due to myoglobinuria.
Skeletal Muscle Characteristics
- Skeletal muscle primarily consists of muscle fibers and connective tissue.
- Mitochondrial diseases often present with symptoms of fatigue and muscle weakness.
Osteoporosis
- Common causes include aging, hormonal changes, and nutrient deficiencies.
- Diagnostic imaging technique: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is commonly used.
- Laboratory investigations for monitoring include serum calcium and vitamin D levels.
Gout
- Aim of treatment is to reduce uric acid levels and manage flare-ups.
- Affects approximately 4% of adults.
Muscle Damage Markers
- Commonly used markers include creatine kinase (CK) for muscle damage; troponin for cardiac muscle damage.
Complications and Conditions
- Compartment syndrome can lead to muscle necrosis and nerve damage.
- Fatty acid oxidation defects often result in hypoglycemia and muscle weakness.
General Notes
- Non-metabolic causes of muscle disease include trauma and inflammatory conditions.
- Recommended management strategies for rhabdomyolysis include hydration and monitoring renal function.
- Characteristic of metabolic muscle diseases includes episodic muscle pain after exercise.
- High creatine kinase levels can indicate muscle damage from various causes.
