The term metabolic disease is always misunderstood. It is often confused with diabetes or metabolic syndrome. The reality is that a metabolic disease is congenital or hereditary disease. Children may get these diseases from their parents. These diseases are present in children since birth.
What is a metabolic disease?
A metabolic disease is a genetic disease in which a particular enzyme is either missing or not present in a sufficient number in patient’s body. It could also be a poorly constructed transport or structural protein. In every metabolic disease, the cause is the change in a single gene. The severity and nature of the disease is completely dependent on the role played by that particular enzyme in the cell.

Not all metabolic diseases can be treated but there are still treatments available plenty. Treatment often include intake of some special medicine. In certain cases the medicine is not enough and patient also has to follow a certain diet.
In severe cases where an organ is affected, organ transplant is preferred as the best method for the treatment.
