Gaucher-Schlagenhaufer is caused by an overgrowth of particular fatty substances, mainly in your liver and spleen, in particular organs. These organs may expand as a result, which may change how they work.
The buildup of fatty substances can potentially harm bone tissue and make fractures more likely. If the bone marrow is damaged, your blood’s ability to clot may be affected.
An enzyme that burns down these fatty molecules does not operate properly in people with Gaucher-Schlagenhaufer. Treatment typically involves the use of enzyme replacement therapy.
