Ingabe ingane yakho inalezi zimpawu? Kungaba yi-Hunter Syndrome!

Uke waphawula ukuthi kukhona ukubambezeleka ekukhuleni kwengane yakho, noma kukhona izinguquko ekubukekeni kwayo noma emalungeni ayo muva nje? Ngezinye izikhathi, okubangela lezo zinto kungaba yisimo esingavamile esingakazwa kakhulu ngaso. Namuhla sizokhuluma ngesimo sofuzo esibizwa ngokuthi i-Hunter Syndrome. Ungesabi uma uzwa lokhu, ngoba into ebaluleke kakhulu ukukuqaphela.

Iyini i-Hunter Syndrome? Masiyiqonde kalula!

Kalula nje, i-Hunter Syndrome iyisifo esingavamile sofuzo. Lesi yisimo lapho ama-molecule athile kashukela ayinkimbinkimbi emzimbeni wengane yakho (abizwa ngokuthi "ama-Glycosaminoglycans" noma "ama-GAG") engaphulwa kahle futhi angagaywa. Njengoba nje udoti emakhaya ethu uqongelela uma singawulahli kahle, la ma-molecule kashukela aqongelela ngaphakathi kwamaseli omzimba, ikakhulukazi ezingxenyeni ezibizwa ngokuthi "ama-Lysosome". Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, lokhu kuqongelela kuqala ukulimaza izitho nezicubu ezahlukahlukene emzimbeni. Lo monakalo ungathinta ukukhula komzimba nengqondo yengane.

Odokotela bahlukanisa i-Hunter Syndrome ngezinhlobo ezimbili eziyinhloko:

1. Uhlobo olunzima: Lolu uhlobo olunzima kakhulu oluthuthuka ngokushesha. Kulokhu, amakhono okuqonda engane nawo ayathinteka. Ngokuvamile, phakathi kweminyaka engu-6 no-8, ingane iqala ukuba nobunzima bokwenza imisebenzi yansuku zonke eyisisekelo. Cishe abantu abangu-60% abane-Hunter Syndrome banalolu hlobo olunzima.

2. Uhlobo oluncane: Izimpawu zivela kancane kancane. Amakhono obuhlakani angase angathinteki kakhulu.

I-Hunter Syndrome ingeyeqembu elikhulu lezifo ezibizwa ngokuthi ``Mucopolysaccharidoses``. Ngakho-ke, ibizwa nangokuthi ``Mucopolysaccharidosis type II`` noma ``MPS II``.

Ivame kangakanani i-Hunter Syndrome?

Empeleni lesi yisimo esingavamile kakhulu. Futhi, sithinta kakhulu abafana. Ngokwezibalo, cishe oyedwa kuphela kubafana abayi-100,000 kuya ku-170,000 othinteka yilesi sifo. Kodwa-ke, amantombazane angaba ngabathwali bokuguqulwa kwezakhi zofuzo okubangela lesi sifo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi noma bengenazo izimpawu, bangadlulisela isakhi sofuzo ezinganeni zabo.

Yiziphi izimpawu zengane ene-Hunter Syndrome?

Lezi zimpawu zivame ukuqala ukuvela enganeni eneminyaka ephakathi kwemi-2 neyi-4. Izimpawu zingahluka kumuntu nomuntu, futhi zingahluka nangobukhulu. Ake sibheke izimpawu eziyinhloko ezingabonakala:

• Ukuqina kwamalunga, ubunzima bokugoba: Kungase kuzwakale sengathi amalunga "anamathele".
• Ukuqina kwezici zobuso: Izindawo ezifana namakhala, izindebe, nolimi zingase zibe zinkulu futhi zibonakale ziqinile.
• Ukuvaleka kwamazinyo sekwephuzile noma ukuba nezikhala ezinkulu phakathi kwamazinyo.
• Ikhanda likhulu kunejwayelekile, isifuba sibanzi, kanti intamo imfushane.
• Ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa (ukulahlekelwa ukuzwa) okwanda kancane kancane ngokuhamba kwesikhathi.
• Ukukhula okubambezelekile: Ukuphakama kungase kwehle, ikakhulukazi ngemva kweminyaka emi-5.
• Ubende nesibindi esikhulu.
• Ukubonakala kwamaqhubu amhlophe esikhumbeni.

Kungcono ukungesabi uma ubona eyodwa noma ezimbili zalezi zimpawu, kodwa uma ingane yakho iqhubeka nokuba nezimpawu ezingaphezu kweyodwa, kuwukuhlakanipha ukufuna iseluleko sezokwelapha.

Kungani kwenzeka i-Hunter Syndrome? Iyini imbangela?

Isizathu esiyinhloko salokhu ukuguquka kwezakhi zofuzo ku-gene ye-'IDS'. Le gene ye-'IDS' ilawula ukukhiqizwa kwe-enzyme ebizwa ngokuthi `(Iduronate 2-sulfatase)` noma `(I2S)` emzimbeni wethu. Umsebenzi wale enzyme ye-`(I2S)` ukuphula ama-molecule kashukela ayinkimbinkimbi abizwa ngokuthi `(Glycosaminoglycans)` noma `(GAGs)` esikhulume ngawo ngaphambili.

Ngakho-ke, kumuntu one-Hunter syndrome `(MPS II)`, le enzyme `(I2S)` ayikhiqizwa emzimbeni, noma ikhiqizwa ngamanani amancane kakhulu. Ngenxa yokuthi le enzyme ayikho, lawo ma-molecule kashukela `(GAGs)` aqoqana ezingxenyeni ezibizwa ngokuthi `(Lysosomes)` ngaphakathi kwamaseli. `(Lysosomes)` yizindawo ngaphakathi kwamaseli eziphula futhi ziphinde zisebenzise ama-molecule angadingekile. Ngenxa yokuthi `(GAGs)` aqoqana ngale ndlela, isifo `(MPS II)` singeseqembu lezifo ezibizwa ngokuthi `(Lysosomal storage disorder)`. Kungenxa yalokhu kuqoqana ukuthi izitho nezicubu zomzimba ezahlukahlukene ziyalimala.

Ubani osengozini enkulu yokuthuthukisa lokhu?

Uma othile emndenini, okungukuthi, umuntu ohlobene ngokwemvelo, enalesi sifo, ingozi yokuba abanye basithole iphakeme.

Njengoba sishilo ngaphambili, abafana banamathuba amaningi okuthola lesi sifo njengefa. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi lesi sifo sihlobene ne-chromosome X. Uyazi, amantombazane athola ama-chromosome amabili e-X, abafana bazuza i-chromosome eyodwa ye-X kanye ne-chromosome eyodwa ye-Y. Ngakho-ke, noma ngabe intombazane ithola i-chromosome ye-X ngaleli gene elinephutha, elinye i-chromosome ye-X enempilo linganikeza i-enzyme edingekayo. Ngakho-ke bangase bangakhombisi izimpawu futhi babe ngabathwali. Kodwa uma umfana ethola i-chromosome ye-X ngalelo gene elinephutha, uzoba nalesi sifo ngoba akanayo enye i-chromosome ye-X.

Yiziphi izinkinga ezingaba khona zeHunter Syndrome?

Kuye ngobukhulu balesi sifo, izinkinga ezahlukahlukene zingavela. Odokotela basebenzisa imithi futhi ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nokuhlinzwa ukulawula lezi zinkinga. Ake sibone ukuthi ziyini lezi zinkinga:

• Ubunzima bokuphefumula: Ubunzima bokuphefumula bungenzeka ngenxa yokuqina kwezicubu kanye nokuvaleka kwemigudu yomoya.
• Isifo senhliziyo (`(Isifo senhliziyo)`).
• Ukungahambi kahle kwamalunga namathambo.
• Ukwehla kancane kancane kokusebenza kobuchopho.
• I-Carpal tunnel syndrome (`(i-Carpal tunnel syndrome)`): Isimo esibangelwa ukucindezelwa kwemizwa esihlakaleni.
• Ama-Hernia (`(ama-Hernia)`).
• Izimo ezifana nesifo sokuwa (`(Ukuquleka)`).
• Izinkinga zokuziphatha.

Lezi zinkinga azenzeki ngendlela efanayo kuwo wonke umuntu. Zingahluka kuye ngesimo sengane. Ngakho-ke, kubalulekile ukukhuluma nodokotela njalo futhi uqaphele isimo sengane.

Wazi kanjani ukuthi une-Hunter Syndrome?

Udokotela wengane yakho uzokwenza izivivinyo eziningana ukuqinisekisa lesi simo.

• Ukuhlolwa komchamo: Lokhu kuhlola amazinga aphezulu kakhulu ama-molecule kashukela emchameni (abizwa ngokuthi ama-GAG).
• Ukuhlolwa kwegazi: Lokhu kunganquma ukuthi umsebenzi we-enzyme `(I2S)` egazini uphansi noma awukho. Lokhu futhi kuyisibonakaliso esiyinhloko salesi sifo.
• Ukuhlolwa kofuzo: Yilokhu okuqinisekisa ukuthi kukhona yini ukuguquka kofuzo oluthile lwe-IDS.

Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha i-Hunter Syndrome?

I-Hunter Syndrome iphathwa ngokwezimpawu zengane. Lokhu kudinga ukwesekwa yithimba lochwepheshe. Abantu abanolwazi emikhakheni eyahlukene basebenzisana ukuphatha isimo sengane. Imigomo eyinhloko yokwelashwa iwukunciphisa ukuqhubekela phambili kwesifo, ukuhlonza nokwelapha izinkinga ezingase zivele ngenxa yesifo kusenesikhathi, nokuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yokuphila kwengane.

Ukwelashwa okungcono kakhulu okwamanje okutholakalayo ukuze kufezwe le migomo ukwelashwa kokushintsha ama-enzyme (`(Ukwelashwa kokushintsha ama-enzyme)`). Kulokhu, i-enzyme `(I2S)` engekho ithathelwa indawo yi-enzyme eyenziwe ngumuntu (`(Idursulfase (Elaprase®))`). Lokhu kwelashwa kuvame ukunikezwa ngemithambo yegazi kanye ngesonto.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, ucwaningo mayelana nokwelashwa kwezakhi zofuzo (noma ukuhlela izakhi zofuzo) luyaqhubeka njengamanje. Lokhu kungaletha ithemba elikhulu ezigulini ezine-Hunter Syndrome esikhathini esizayo. Kodwa-ke, imiphumela isalindelwe.

Ingabe ikhona indlela yokuvimbela lokhu?

Njengoba lesi kuyisimo sofuzo, ngeshwa asinakuvinjelwa. Kodwa-ke, kubaluleke kakhulu kubazali bengane ene-Hunter Syndrome ukukhuluma nomeluleki wezakhi zofuzo ngaphambi kokuba nenye ingane. Lochwepheshe angasiza abazali baqonde ingozi yokudlulisela lesi simo komunye umntwana.

Liyini ikusasa lomuntu one-Hunter Syndrome?

Ikhambi eliphelele lalokhu alikatholakali okwamanje.Amacala anzima alesi sifo angaba yingozi empilweni. Isilinganiso sokuphila kwezingane ezinjalo siphakathi kweminyaka eyi-10 nengama-20. Kodwa-ke, labo abanamacala amancane alesi sifo bangaphila isikhathi eside kakhulu, baze babe badala.

Kwabaningi, ukwelashwa okufana nemithi, ukwelashwa ngokomzimba, kanye nokuhlinzwa kungasiza ekubhekaneni nezinselele zesifo futhi kuthuthukise ikhwalithi yokuphila kwabo.

Ingabe ingane yami izokwazi ukusebenza ngendlela evamile futhi?

Izingane ezine-Hunter Syndrome zingase zibe nobunzima ngemisebenzi yansuku zonke kanye nokuhambahamba njengoba izimpawu zazo ziba zimbi kancane kancane. Eminye imisebenzi ingadinga ukulungiswa. Udokotela wengane yakho uzokhuluma nawe ngemisebenzi kanye nokwelashwa okungakusiza ukuthi ubhekane nezimpawu.

Udinga ukubona udokotela ngasiphi isikhathi?

Uma ingane yakho iqala ukukhombisa izimpawu ze-Hunter Syndrome, noma uma ubona ukubambezeleka kokukhula, xhumana nodokotela wengane yakho ngokushesha. Ukuqala ukwelashwa kusenesikhathi kungasiza ekuvimbeleni ukulimala okungapheli kwezitho nezicubu.

Yini okufanele uyibuze udokotela?

Uma usuthole ukuthi ingane yakho ine-Hunter Syndrome, ungabuza udokotela imibuzo efana nale:

• I-Hunter Syndrome inzima kangakanani?
• Kuzoba yini isibikezelo sesikhathi esifushane neside sengane yami?
• Lesi sifo sizoyithinta kanjani impilo yengane yami?
• Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha?

Buza le mibuzo bese ususa noma yikuphi ukungabaza ongase ube nakho. Ngoba uma unolwazi oluningi, kulapho uzokwazi kangcono ukusiza ingane yakho.

Uyini umehluko phakathi kweHunter kanye neHurler syndrome?

I-Hunter Syndrome kanye ne-Hurler Syndrome yizifo ezimbili eqenjini lezifo ezibizwa ngokuthi "i-Lysosomal storage disorders" kanye ne-"Mucopolysaccharidoses".

I-Hurler syndrome iwuhlobo olubi kakhulu lwesifo i-Mucopolysaccharidosis type I (MPS I). Ku-MPS I, i-enzyme i-alpha-L-iduronidase ayitholakali. I-Hurler syndrome inzima kakhulu kune-Hunter syndrome.

Umyalezo oya nawo ekhaya

Ngiyaqonda ukuthi kungaba nzima kangakanani ukwazi ukuthi ingane yakho inesifo esifana ne-Hunter Syndrome. Kungaba buhlungu kakhulu, ikakhulukazi uma uzwa ngobude bokuphila kwengane yakho. Phakathi nalesi sikhathi esinzima, khumbula ukuthi awuwedwa.
