Scientists at the University of Pittsburgh have confirmed that they have discovered the very first case of ” Urinary Syndrome autobrasserie “. In fact, a 61-year-old woman was studied and tested positive for this new disease after doctors noticed their patient’s bladder produced ethanol naturally. An announcement confirmed in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine.
A discovery made during a battery of tests to be carried out for a liver transplant. Indeed, the sexagenarian suffered from cirrhosis, but also from diabetes. Faced with her illness, she decided to opt for a radical solution. However, the results discovered suggested that she was an alcoholic. Problem, she said she never had or had very little to drink in her life. From then on, it was misunderstanding that took hold.
His body makes ethanol
Faced with the many questions asked, the patient then decided to turn to the University’s medical school to learn a little more about her situation. But then again, the doctors tell her that she is an alcoholic, all thinking then that she was hiding an addiction to the drink. But additional blood tests will ultimately rule out this hypothesis. In fact, if ethanol was indeed found in the patient’s blood, the markers and other chemical substances found in an alcoholic drink were not there.
Significant progress
It’s then that the doctors will realize that the patient in question also had far too much of “ candida glabrata “, A baking powder that brewers use to ferment sugar into alcohol. If we have it in our body, this yeast is only present in very small quantities. An incredible breakthrough that will allow doctors who have patients with various syndromes and complications linked to an apparent overconsumption of alcohol, but who continue to declare themselves sober.
