- Description - |
Cystadane is prescribed to reduce dangerously high blood levels ofthe naturally occurring amino acid homocysteine. Excessive levels ofhomocysteine can lead to formation of clots within your blood vessels,brittle bones (osteoporosis), other bone abnormalities, and dislocationof the lens of the eye. Homocysteine is also linked with an increased riskof heart disease and heart attack.
When homocysteine levels are so high that the substance appears in the urine, the condition is called homocystinuria. The problem is usually the result of an inherited lack of the enzymes needed to process homocysteine and generally shows up within the first months or years of life. Early signs of homocystinuria include delays in development, failure to thrive, seizures, and sluggishness. |
