About Cystinosis Ireland
Cystinosis Ireland is a leading organization dedicated to providing support and resources for individuals and families affected by cystinosis, a rare metabolic disease. This condition is characterized by the accumulation of cystine, an amino acid, in organs and tissues, resulting in severe organ dysfunction. The dysfunction occurs when cystine crystallizes due to a dysfunctional cystine transporter, leading to toxic levels of cystine in the body and causing cellular dysfunction and eventual cellular death.
The impact of cystinosis is far-reaching, affecting various organs including the kidneys, eyes, liver, muscles, and central nervous system. Cystinosis Ireland works diligently to assist families, medical professionals, researchers, and others throughout the entire journey, from diagnosis to adulthood. They provide valuable support and resources, connecting individuals with informative conferences and research videos on their YouTube channel.
Additionally, they collaborate with the Cystinosis Research Network in the US to offer a wide range of guides and resources for families and professionals. For more information or to get involved, reach out to Cystinosis Ireland via their website or contact them directly via email or phone. Join them in their mission to bring hope and support to those affected by cystinosis
