Inherited Metabolic Disease (IMD)
The Department of Endocrinology at UHB provides a clinical service for the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of adult patients with inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs).
The IMD Service was officially launched in December 2008 and consists of a multidisciplinary team lead by consultants in IMD, metabolic dieticians and nurse specialists. The IMD service is fully supported by other specialities including heart, liver, kidney, neurology, genetics and rehabilitation services. The adult metabolic service is also closely linked to Birmingham Children’s Hospital (BCH) metabolic unit.
Referrals are received from the Midlands area for adult patients with inherited metabolic conditions, including those with:
- Biochemical defects in carbohydrate
- Amino acid and fat metabolism
- Lysosomal storage diseases
- Mitochondrial disease
- Organic acidemia
- Urea cycle disorders
- Lipid disorders
