Disease/Condition Glossary
Carnitine deficiency: A carnitine deficiency occurs when the body does not absorb or get enough amount of carnitine from food. It is essential for a healthy life. Carnitine is obtained from foods, particularly those of animal origin. Carnitine deficiency can lead to various health problems, including encephalopathy (severe brain dysfunction), myopathy (muscle disease), hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), cardiomyopathy (a heart problem), or swelling (oedema).
Ubiquinone (coenzyme Q10) deficiency: It is a disorder in which your body doesn't have adequate levels of an enzyme called coenzyme Q10. This can affect many parts of the body, especially the brain, muscles, and kidneys. CoQ10 is present in every cell of the body and provides energy to the body. Your body produces CoQ10 naturally, but its production tends to decrease with age. Other causes of CoQ10 deficiency include nutritional deficiencies, such as vitamin B6 deficiency, genetic defects in CoQ10 synthesis or utilisation, increased demands by tissues as a consequence of disease, mitochondrial diseases, and side effects of statin treatments.
