Everyone may be unfamiliar with pseudohypertrophic malnutrition, but its harm and impact on people's health cannot be ignored. We must ensure early detection, early examination and early treatment of this disease. So, what are the examination methods for severe pseudohypertrophic malnutrition? 1. Serum enzyme test Enzyme is a special protein, produced by living cells, and is a highly efficient catalyst. The liver is the organ richest in enzymes in the human body. When the liver is substantially damaged, some enzymes escape from it, such as ALT. Some enzymes, such as ALP, remain in the blood due to poor liver function. Some enzymes are reduced in production when liver cells are diseased, such as cholinesterase. Some enzymes are increased in diseased conditions, such as monoamine oxidase. Therefore, changes in serum enzyme activity help reflect the pathological state of the liver and are one of the commonly used methods for liver function tests. 2. Urine test Urine examination, including routine urine analysis, urine formed element detection (such as urine red blood cells, white blood cells, etc.), protein component quantitative determination, urine enzyme determination, etc. Urine examination is of great value in clinical diagnosis, judgment of efficacy and prognosis. 3. Electromyography EMG, abbreviated in English, uses electronic instruments to record the electrical activity of muscles when they are at rest or contracting, and uses electrical stimulation to examine the excitation and conduction function of nerves and muscles. 4. Muscle biopsy In order to diagnose or differentially diagnose neuromuscular diseases, doctors remove muscle (soybean-sized) from certain parts of the body for examination under a microscope or electron microscope. The location of the muscle removed is determined by the nature of the myopathy (distal or proximal involvement) and the degree of disease progression. Muscle biopsy is a invasive examination, but it cannot be replaced by other examinations at present, and all auxiliary examinations, including genetic examinations, cannot replace muscle biopsy. |
