Transport disorders are medical conditions that affect the body's ability to move substances, such as nutrients, waste, or gases, across cell membranes or within the bloodstream. These disorders can result from genetic mutations, environmental factors, or other health issues, leading to problems in cellular function and overall metabolism. Common examples of transport disorders include cystic fibrosis, which affects the transport of chloride ions, and Wilson's disease, where copper accumulation occurs due to impaired transport. Diagnosis often involves blood tests, genetic testing, and imaging studies, while treatment may include medications, dietary changes, or therapies to manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
