A rare cause of end stage renal disease: Fabry disease

Journal Title: Ege Tıp Dergisi - Year 2015, Vol 54, Issue 1

Abstract

Fabry disease is the second most common lysosomal storage disease after Gaucher disease. Although there are many systemic symptoms, generally diagnosis of Fabry disease is delayed. Having a family history of Fabry disease with symptoms is important for diagnosis. In this report, a 23-year-old male patient diagnosed as Farby disease by genetic analysis is presented who had mitral insufficiency, cardiomyopathy and end stage renal failure requiring hemodialysis.
