Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Endocrine disorders and metabolic diseases in relation to dietary intolerance occur when abnormal biochemical reactions interfere with the body's metabolism. These disturbances can affect the proper breakdown of large molecules for energy, disrupt the efficient production of energy by cells, or cause problems with energy regulation.

The epidemiology of these disorders is very diverse, and their increasing prevalence in the population is becoming problematic. The wide variety of symptoms of these disorders also creates issues and extends the diagnostic process.

It is important to describe the health needs of intolerant patients and family members related to the role of the pharmacist and to carry out actions related to medicines to facilitate information for patients and health professionals.

This Special Issue will publish advancements and current trends related to dietary management of inherited metabolic disorders, diagnosis, tools, and treatment. Research and review articles on the presented and related topics are appropriate for this special edition of Healthcare.

(1) Background: Hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is a rare autosomal recessive metabolic disorder resulting from aldolase B deficiency, requiring a fructose, sorbitol and sucrose (FSS)-free diet. Limited information exists on the relationship between pregnancy outcomes and HFI. This study aims to analyze pregnancy-related factors in a cohort of thirty Spanish women, with twenty-three being carriers and seven being HFI-affected (45 pregnancies). (2) Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional and retrospective study utilized an anonymous questionnaire. (3) Results: Findings encompassed physical and emotional states, nutritional habits, pathology development and baby information. Notable results include improved physical and emotional states compared to the general population, with conventional analyses mostly within normal ranges. Persistent issues after pregnancy included hepatic steatosis, liver adenomas and hemangiomas. Carrier mothers’ babies exhibited higher weight than those of patient mothers, while the weights of carrier children born with HFI were similar to disease-affected children. (4) Conclusions: Pregnant women with HFI did not significantly differ in physical and emotional states, except for nausea, vomiting, and cravings. Post-pregnancy, HFI patients and carriers exhibited persistent hepatic issues. Significantly, babies born to HFI-affected mothers had lower weights. This study sheds light on pregnancy outcomes in HFI, emphasizing potential complications and the need for ongoing monitoring and care. Full article
