Urinary galactose

Congenital galactosemia is an autosomal recessive genetic disease. Due to the lack of galactose-1-phosphate uridine converting enzyme or galactokinase, the inability to convert galactose into glucose in food can cause hepatomegaly, liver damage, growth retardation, mental retardation, and restlessness after breastfeeding , Antifeeding, vomiting, diarrhea, renal tubular dysfunction, etc. In addition, amino acid urine (sperm, silk, glycine, etc.) can also be detected. Galactoseuria can also occur in patients with cataracts caused by galactose kinase deficiency.
