Was ist die Erdheim-Chester-Krankheit?

Die Erdheim-Chester-Krankheit ist eine extrem seltene Erkrankung, die viele verschiedene Organe des Körpers betreffen kann. Sie ist gekennzeichnet durch eine übermäßige Produktion und Anhäufung bestimmter Zellen, deren normale Funktion darin besteht, Infektionen zu bekämpfen. Diese Zellen, die Histiozyten genannt werden, infiltrieren das lockere Bindegewebe des Körpers. Infolgedessen wird dieses Gewebe verdickt, dicht und fibrotisch. Mehrere verschiedene Organe können betroffen sein. Wenn keine erfolgreiche Behandlung gefunden wird, kann es zu Organversagen kommen.

Support Our End of Year Giving Campaign

In a recent short video, Mark Anderson shared an inspiring message encouraging viewers to support the Erdheim Chester Disease Global Alliance (ECDGA). His message underscores the importance of the ECDGA’s mission to assist patients, advance critical research, and raise awareness about Erdheim-Chester Disease, a rare and serious condition. This year, your generosity will go twice as far. Thanks to matching contributions from anonymous donors, every donation made through 2024 will be doubled. Whether you can give a little or a lot, your support will have a greater impact in helping the ECDGA continue its work. Visit fundecd.org to make your donation, watch the video, and share the message. Together, we can help make a real difference for those affected by Erdheim-Chester Disease.
