Ingabe umama wakho, ubaba, ugogo, noma u-anti wakho ekhaya baya ngokuya bekhohlwa izinto? Ingabe ukhohlwa into obukhuluma ngayo ngokuzumayo? Mhlawumbe nawe ngokwakho ukuthola kunzima ukukhumbula izehlakalo zakamuva? Ungase uzibuze nokuthi lokhu kuyinto evamile yokuguga, noma ngabe kuyisifo okufanele sisesabe. Ngakho-ke namuhla, ake sixoxe ngesifo i-Alzheimer's, okuwukulahlekelwa inkumbulo okuqhubekayo okukhathaza abantu abaningi.
Ngingazi kanjani ukuthi nginesifo i-Alzheimer's?
Uma unezinsolo ezincane kakhulu zokuthi wena noma othile emndenini wakho ubhekene nezimpawu zesifo i-Alzheimer's, into engcono kakhulu ongayenza ukubonana nodokotela ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngoba izimpawu ezifana nokulahlekelwa yinkumbulo azizona ezitholakala kwisifo i-Alzheimer's kuphela. Lezi zimpawu zingavela ngenxa yezinye izimo zezokwelapha nezimbangela eziningi.
Cabanga ngezizathu ezilandelayo zokuthi kungani ungase ube nezinkinga zenkumbulo:
- Ukutheleleka emzimbeni: Ezinye izifo ezibangelwa amagciwane noma amagciwane, ikakhulukazi izifo ezibangelwa umchamo, zingabangela ukudideka kwengqondo nezinkinga zokukhumbula kubantu abadala.
- Imiphumela emibi yemithi: Uma usebenzisa imithi eminingana engahambisani ngesikhathi esisodwa, ingasabelana futhi ibangele izimpawu ezinjengalezi.
- Ukushaywa yinhliziyo okuncane: Ukuvaleka kwemithambo yegazi emincane kakhulu ehambisa igazi ebuchosheni nakho kungathinta inkumbulo.
- Ukucindezeleka: Ukucindezeleka kungabangela ukunaka komuntu kanye nenkumbulo yakhe ukuba buthaka kakhulu.
- Ushukela ophansi egazini: Uma amazinga kashukela egazini ehla ngokuzumayo kubantu abanesifo sikashukela noma abanye, kungabangela izinkinga zesikhashana zokukhumbula nokudideka.
- Izinkinga ze-thyroid: Izinguquko emazingeni e-thyroid hormone zingathinta ukusebenza komzimba kanye nenkumbulo.
- Ezinye izifo zezinzwa ezifana nezimila zobuchopho noma isifo sikaParkinson .
Ngakho-ke, ungesabi ukuthi, "Nginesifo i-Alzheimer's" ngokushesha nje lapho uzizwa sengathi inkumbulo yakho iyaphela. Into ebaluleke kakhulu ukubona udokotela kuqala bese uthola ukuthi iyini imbangela yangempela.
Udokotela uzoqala ahlole impilo yakho yomzimba. Ngemuva kwalokho, bazobuza imibuzo embalwa ukuhlola impilo yakho yengqondo, okuhlanganisa inkumbulo yakho, inkulumo, amakhono okuxazulula izinkinga, amakhono okucabanga, kanye nemizwa. Bazobuza nomndeni wakho nganoma yiziphi izinguquko ekuziphatheni kwakho.
Yiziphi izivivinyo ezenziwayo ukuqinisekisa ngokunembile lesi sifo?
Ngemva kokuhlolwa okuvamile, odokotela bayala ukuhlolwa kobuchopho ukuqinisekisa ukuthi lesi sifo empeleni siyi-Alzheimer's noma ukuthi lezi zimpawu zibangelwa esinye isizathu.
| Igama lokuhlolwa | Kalula nje... |
|---|---|
| Isikeni se-MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) | Lokhu kufana nokuthatha isithombe sobuchopho esicacile. Kusebenzisa omaginethi abanamandla namagagasi omsakazo ukuze kubonakale ngokucacile isakhiwo sobuchopho. Lokhu kungasiza ekunqumeni ukuthi izimpawu zakho zibangelwa yini okunye, njengesimila sobuchopho noma isifo sohlangothi. |
| Isikeni se-PET (Positron Emission Tomography) | Lokhu kuskena okukhethekile ngandlela thile. Lokhu kuskena kungabona ngqo ukuba khona kwama-plaque, iphrotheni eyingozi ebizwa ngokuthi i-beta-amyloid, eqoqana ebuchosheni beziguli ezine-Alzheimer's. Kodwa-ke, lokhu kuyisivivinyo esibizayo ngandlela thile. |
| Ukuhlolwa Kwegazi | Manje, ngokuthuthuka kobuchwepheshe, kuye kwavela ukuhlolwa kwegazi okusha. Lokhu kungahlola amazinga amaprotheni athile (isib. i-beta-amyloid, i-APOE) egazini futhi kunikeze umbono wokuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi kube nalawo ma-deposit ayingozi ebuchosheni. |
Yiziphi izindlela zokwelapha isifo i-Alzheimer's?
Okokuqala, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi ayikho ikhambi lesifo i-Alzheimer's. Kodwa-ke, lokho akusho ukuthi ukwelashwa akusebenzi. Kunemithi eminingi ephumelelayo kanye nokwelashwa okutholakalayo namuhla okungasiza ekunciphiseni ukuqhubeka kwesifo, ukulawula izimpawu, kanye nokuthuthukisa ikhwalithi yokuphila kwesiguli.
Ezinye zezinhlobo eziyinhloko zemithi esetshenziswayo zibalwe kuthebula elingezansi:
| Isigaba/igama lezidakamizwa | Ukusebenza kanye necala lokusetshenziswa |
|---|---|
| I-Lecanemab, i-Donanemab | Lezi yimithi esanda kwethulwa yama-antibody e-monoclonal. Zihlose amaprotheni e-beta-amyloid afakwa ngqo ebuchosheni. Zifaneleka kakhulu kubantu abasesigabeni sokuqala salesi sifo. Zingabangela imiphumela emibi njengokuvuvukala kobuchopho noma ukuphuma kwegazi okuncane. |
| I-Donepezil, i-Rivastigmine, i-Galantamine | Le mithi ikhulisa amazinga ekhemikhali ebizwa ngokuthi i-acetylcholine, esiza amangqamuzana ezinzwa ebuchosheni ukuthi axhumane. Isiza ekulawuleni izinga lapho izimpawu ziba zimbi khona ezigabeni zokuqala nezephakathi zesifo. |
| I-Memantine | Amangqamuzana obuchopho awonakele yisifo i-Alzheimer's akhiqiza inani eliningi lekhemikhali ebizwa ngokuthi i-glutamate. Lo muthi usebenza ngokuvimbela umonakalo obangelwa yi-glutamate eningi kumaseli ezinzwa. Lokhu kusiza ukulawula ukuqhubeka okusheshayo kwezimpawu ezigabeni eziphakathi kuya kwezinzima zesifo . |
| I-Memantine-Donepezil (inhlanganisela) | Lokhu kuyinhlanganisela yemithi emibili okukhulunywe ngayo ngenhla. Isetshenziselwa isifo i-Alzheimer esimaphakathi kuya kwesesibi kakhulu . |
Ukwelashwa okulawula ezinye izimpawu ezihambisana nesifo
Isifo i-Alzheimer's asikona nje ukulahlekelwa yinkumbulo. Njengoba lesi sifo siqhubeka, singabangela nezinguquko zokuziphatha nezengqondo. Odokotela banikeza imithi ehlukahlukene ukusiza ukulawula lezi zimpawu.
- Ukusola, ukudideka, kanye nokuziphatha okunolaka: Ezinye iziguli zingase zibe novalo kanye nokubona izinto ezingekho. Imithi yokulwa nesifo sengqondo efana ne-haloperidol kanye ne-risperidone isetshenziselwa ukulawula lezi zimpawu.
- Ukucindezeleka nokukhathazeka:Ukucindezeleka kuvamile kulesi sifo. Imithi efana ne-Fluoxetine ne-Sertraline isetshenziselwa ukuselapha.
- Ukungalali: Ukungakwazi ukulala ebusuku nakho kuyinkinga evamile. Ngenxa yalokhu, udokotela uzokunikeza iphilisi lokulala elifanele.
- Ukungahlaliseki Nokucasuka: Iziguli ezihlala zingahlaliseki futhi zicasukile zinikezwa imithi yokulwa nokukhathazeka njengeLorazepam.
Kubaluleke kakhulu: Ungalokothi usebenzise noma yimiphi imithi eshiwo lapha ngaphandle kwemithi kadokotela kanye nokuqashwa kwakhe. Kubalulekile ukuthatha yonke le mithi ngesilinganiso esifanele nangesikhathi esifanele. Uma isetshenziswa ngendlela engafanele, ingabangela imiphumela emibi eyingozi.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- Uma wena noma othandekayo wakho ninezimpawu zokulahlekelwa yinkumbulo, ningakuthathi njengento evamile yokuguga. Qiniseka ukuthi ubona udokotela ukuze akunike iseluleko.
- Izimpawu ezifana ne-Alzheimer's zingabangelwa ezinye izifo eziningi ezilula ukuzelapha, ngakho-ke kubalulekile ukuthola ukuxilongwa okunembile.
- Nakuba isifo i-Alzheimer singelapheki ngokuphelele, kunezindlela eziningi zokwelapha ezisebenzayo ezitholakalayo namuhla zokulawula ukuqhubeka kwalesi sifo, ukunciphisa izimpawu, nokwenza impilo ibe lula.
- Ungaqali, ushintshe umthamo, noma uyeke ukuthatha noma yimuphi umuthi ngaphandle kokubonisana nodokotela. Qaphela kakhulu ngemithi yezimpawu zengqondo.
