Inherited metabolic disorders (IMD) are genetically inherited biochemical disorders of specific enzymes or proteins causing a block in a normal metabolic process of protein, carbohydrates or fat metabolic pathway. As a result, there will be accumulation of intermediary substances which cannot be further metabolized. This concept of IMD was originally conceived by Garrod since 1902.
Nutrition management of Inherited Metabolic Disorders is disease specific to correct metabolic imbalances, promote growth and development by providing adequate nutrition while restricting or supplementing one or more nutrient as indicated by the disorder. In addition, in some disorders nutrition treatment would have a greater impact such as reducing the risk of brain damage, other organ involvement and diminishing the incidence of metabolic crises, preventing coma and even death.
