Can Niemann-Pick disease be cured?

There is no cure for Niemann-Pick disease and there is no specific medicine. This is because this disease is a congenital abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism disease, which is an autosomal invisible genetic disorder. Because it is a genetically inherited disease, there is no effective treatment for this disease. The current treatment is mainly symptomatic, often using antioxidant drugs such as vitamin E and vitamin C. For those who show obvious enlargement of the liver and spleen, the enlarged spleen can be removed as a treatment option.
