520 LIVING WELL WITH MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE helps make sense of
mitochondrial disease (Mito), an overwhelming and complex
group of diagnoses that has grown exponentially in recent
years. The most common of all metabolic disorders, thought
to be more common than cystic fibrosis and broader-
reaching than most genetic diseases, Mito can affect
babies, children, and teens from birth or at any point
during their development. Previously healthy adults, as
well as adults with a history of unexplained fatigue, are
increasingly receiving a Mito diagnosis. Some children
with autism spectrum disorders who have medical issues
such as digestive difficulties and fatigue are also being
identified as having a mitochondrial disorder. This guide
is the first book about Mito written for patients and
their families and helps readers understand how the
mitochondria work (they are the powerhouse of the cell,
providing energy for the entire body), how people with
mitochondrial defects are diagnosed and treated, and how
to live well when you, your child, or someone you love is
struggling with disabling symptoms.
