  1. Case Study 3 Solution

  2. What did you conclude about the infant’s condition? • Which level of body organization was creating the pathology? • What type of pathology did it appear to be? • Could the dehydration and vomiting have been due to cell transport problems? • Was the blue coloration and inactivity the result of metabolic errors? • Is it one disease or several?

  3. Revisit the symptoms Symptoms: • dehydration • diarrhea and vomiting • slow growth • weight loss • blue tinge to skin • inactive • lethargic • low body temperature

  4. What is each symptom a result of, and what can it lead to? dehydration • transport issues • lack of reabsorption (nephrons) • abnormal hydrolysis • abnormal conditions for cells, blood, and organ systems • lack of ability to regulate body temperature • enzymes won’t function properly

  5. What is each symptom a result of, and what can it lead to? diarrhea and vomiting • loss of ions

  6. What is each symptom a result of, and what can it lead to? slow growth/weight loss • errors in mitosis • possible dysplasia, dystrophy

  7. What is each symptom a result of, and what can it lead to? blue tinge to skin, inactive, and lethargic • oxygen depletion • poor blood circulation • mitochondrial malfunction – abnormal cellular respiration

  8. What is each symptom a result of, and what can it lead to? low body temperature • lack of water • low metabolism

  9. So what is the condition?
