Ngolunye usuku, uRonit (hhayi igama lakhe langempela) waqala ukuba nobuhlungu esiswini, ukuphelelwa umoya kanye nokukhathala, waya kudokotela ukuze ahlolwe igazi. Kodwa-ke, wayengalindele ukuthi kungakapheli amahora angama-24 uzothunyelwa esibhedlela ukuze ayohlolwa nge-dialysis ngenxa yokwehluleka okukhulu kwezinso.
Vele, wayengalindele ukuthi konke lokhu kubangelwa iqiniso lokuthi walungisa izinwele zakhe ngosuku olwandulele.
Njengoba kunjalo ngoRonit, abesifazane abangu-26 kwa-Israyeli (isilinganiso soyedwa ngenyanga) balaliswa esibhedlela ngenxa yokwehluleka okukhulu kwezinso ngemva kokuhlinzwa kokulungisa izinwele.
Abanye balaba besifazane babonakala bekwazi ukululama ngokwabo. Kodwa-ke, abanye badinga ukwelashwa nge-dialysis.
Abanye bangathi phakathi kwezinkulungwane zabesifazane kwa-Israyeli abalungisa izinwele zabo minyaka yonke, “abangu-26” kuphela abathola ukwehluleka kwezinso. Ukwehluleka kwezinso (okufanekisayo). (Umthombo: Wikimedia Commons)
Ngiphendula, ngiveze ukuthi ukwehluleka kwezinso okudinga i-dialysis kuyingozi kakhulu futhi kusongela ukuphila.
Iziguli zizokutshela ukuthi azifisi muntu ukuthi alimale. Lena intengo okungekho muntu okufanele ayikhokhele ngenqubo elula yobuhle.
Ngawo-2000, kwaqala ukuvela imibiko yezimpawu ezibangelwa ama-hair straighteners aqukethe i-formaldehyde. Lokhu kungenxa yokuthi umlungisi wezinwele uphefumula intuthu ngesikhathi senqubo yokulungisa izinwele.
Lezi zimpawu zifaka phakathi ukucasuka kwamehlo, izinkinga zokuphefumula, ukuqubuka kobuso, ukuphelelwa umoya, kanye nokuvuvukala kwamaphaphu.
Kodwa nakuba izindlela zokwelapha izinwele zesimanje zingaqukethe i-formaldehyde, ziqukethe okunye: i-glyoxylic acid.
Le asidi imuncwa ngesikhumba sekhanda, esicebile ngemithambo yegazi. Uma isisegazini, i-glyoxylic acid iyahlukana ibe yi-oxalic acid kanye ne-calcium oxalate, okungena futhi egazini bese ekugcineni iphuma emzimbeni ngezinso njengengxenye yomchamo.
Lokhu ngokwakho akujwayelekile, bonke abantu badlula kule nqubo ngezinga elithile futhi ngokuvamile ayinangozi. Kodwa uma kuvezwa imithamo ephezulu kakhulu ye-glyoxylic acid, i-oxalic acidosis ingenzeka, okuholela ekuhlulekeni kwezinso.
Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwezinso kwabesifazane abahlushwa ukungasebenzi kahle kwezinso ngemva kokuqondisa izinwele zabo, kwatholakala ama-deposit e-calcium oxalate emangqamuzaneni ezinso.
Ngo-2021, intombazane eneminyaka emithathu ubudala yazama ukuphuza umkhiqizo wokulungisa izinwele. Yawunambitha kuphela futhi ayizange iwugwinye, njengoba wawunambitheka umunyu kakhulu, kodwa ngenxa yalokho, intombazane yamunca inani elincane kakhulu emlonyeni wayo. Umphumela waba ukwehluleka okukhulu kwezinso okwakudinga i-dialysis, hhayi ukufa.
Ngemva kwalesi sigameko, uMnyango Wezempilo wavimbela ukukhishwa kwamalayisense ayo yonke imikhiqizo yokulungisa izinwele equkethe i-glyoxylic acid futhi enenani le-pH elingaphansi kuka-4.
Kodwa enye inkinga ukuthi ulwazi olukumalebula emikhiqizo yokuqondisa izinwele aluthembekile ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi aluthembekile ngokuphelele. Emuva ngo-2010, umkhiqizo e-Ohio wawubizwa ngokuthi awunayo i-formaldehyde, kodwa empeleni wawuqukethe i-formaldehyde engu-8.5%. Ngo-2022, umkhiqizo wakwa-Israyeli wathi awunayo i-formaldehyde futhi uqukethe i-2% glyoxylic acid kuphela, kodwa empeleni wawuqukethe i-3,082 ppm formaldehyde kanye ne-26.8% glyoxylic acid.
Ngokuthakazelisayo, ngaphandle kwamacala amabili e-oxalic acidosis eGibhithe, wonke amacala e-oxalic acidosis emhlabeni wonke avela kwa-Israyeli.
Ingabe ukwakheka kwesibindi kuhlukile kwabesifazane base-Israyeli kulokho okwenzeka emhlabeni wonke? Ingabe izakhi zofuzo zabesifazane base-Israel eziphula i-glyoxylic acid “ziyivila” kancane? Ingabe kukhona ubudlelwano phakathi kwama-calcium oxalate deposits kanye nokusabalala kwesifo sofuzo i-hyperoxaluria? Ingabe lezi ziguli zinganikezwa ukwelashwa okufanayo neziguli ezine-hyperoxaluria type 3?
Le mibuzo isacwaningwa, futhi ngeke sazi izimpendulo iminyaka eminingi. Kuze kube yileso sikhathi, akumelwe sivumele noma yimuphi owesifazane kwa-Israyeli ukuba abeke impilo yakhe engozini.
Futhi, uma ufuna ukuqondisa izinwele zakho, kuneminye imikhiqizo ephephile emakethe engenayo i-glyoxylic acid futhi enelayisensi yi-Ministry of Health. Lokhu kuzokusiza ukuthi ugcine izinwele ziqondile nomzimba ophilile. Ngoba sonke siyazi ukuthi ubuhle beqiniso buvela ngaphakathi.
