Description

A hereditary disorder called adrenal leukodystrophy (ALD) affects the myelin sheath, which protects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. The myelin serves as insulation for the nerve cells. Overview:- A hereditary (genetic) condition known as adrenoleukodystrophy (uh-dree-noh-loo-koh-DIS-truh-fee) affects the membrane (myelin sheath) that protects the nerve cells in your brain. Very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) cannot be broken down in people with adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD), which leads to the accumulation of saturated VLCFAs in the brain, neurological system, and adrenal gland. X-linked ALD, which is brought on by a genetic error on the X chromosome, is the most prevalent type of ALD. Males who have X-linked ALD are more severely afflicted than females. Dr. Chetan Kalal is the Best ALD specialist in Girgaon.
