E88.8: Other specified metabolic disorders

You have a metabolic disorder.

Various energy-acquisition processes occur in the body. The body acquires energy, for example, by breaking down nutrient elements or the body's own substances. Broken down nutrient elements are also used as building materials in the body. In this way, individual cells and tissue can be built or repaired. All of these processes together are known as metabolism.

Depending on the illness, the symptoms can differ greatly.
