Lipid Myopathy
Lipid myopathy is a rare muscle disorder characterized by the accumulation of lipids, or fats, within muscle cells. This buildup can lead to muscle weakness, pain, and fatigue, affecting a person's ability to perform daily activities. The condition is often linked to metabolic disorders that disrupt the normal breakdown of fats.
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests, muscle biopsies, and imaging studies to assess muscle function. Treatment may include dietary changes, exercise, and medications to manage symptoms. Early intervention is crucial for improving quality of life and preventing further muscle damage.
