Doctors for Refsum Disease Treatment in Secunderabad

Refsum disease is a rare inherited disorder that makes the body unable to break down a certain fatty substance. As it builds up, it can damage the eyes, nerves, skin, and hearing. People may notice trouble seeing at night, balance problems, numbness, or a scaly rash. It usually starts in childhood or early adulthood and needs lifelong care.

People with refsum disease may notice symptoms such as peripheral neuropathy, elevated phytanic acid levels and visual field loss. A medical evaluation can help determine the nature and severity of the condition and whether treatment or ongoing monitoring is needed.

At Medicover Hospitals in Secunderabad, our neurologists evaluate patients with refsum disease and recommend care according to their clinical findings, medical history, and individual health requirements. Relevant diagnostic tests may be used when necessary to support treatment decisions.
