Fast Facts pour les patients: Les troubles d’oxydation des acides gras à chaîne longue (French Edition) (Original PDF from Publisher)

The long-chain fatty acid oxidation problems (TOAG-CL) are rare hereditary diseases. Because of the TOAG-CL, the body finds it difficult to convert fats and acids into energy, which can result in symptoms including low blood sugar, muscle aches or weakness, and cardiac issues. The TOAG-CL is diagnosed with the use of screening tests in newborns or later, based on symptoms. They are treated with a specialized regimen and by avoiding jeûne, particularly when the affected person is ill. A person with a TOAG-CL can lead a healthy, active, and fulfilling life by making changes to their lifestyle with close coordination and the help of their medical team.
