Overview

A positive history of angiokeratomas, peripheral neuropathies, gradually decreased sweating, and gastrointestinal manifestations in childhood are suggestive of classic Fabry's disease. In the late-onset form of the disease neuropathic pain and gastrointestinal manifestation is not common and they may have organ-specific symptoms.

History

  • Fabry's disease should be considered in patients with a family history of the disease, clinical manifestations, and proven laboratory abnormalities.

Symptoms

Neurological[1]

Gastrointestinal[2]

Cardiac[3]

Skin[4]

  • Red spots on the skin (angiokeratomas): tiny, painless papules that appear at any region of the body, but are predominant on the thighs, buttocks, lower abdomen, and groin.
  • Telangiectasis
  • Decreased sweating ( hypohydriosis)

Musculoskeletal[5]

  • Osteopenia
  • Osteoporosis

Endocrine[6]

General[7]

ENT[8]

Ophthalmological[9]

Nephrology[10]

  • Impaired ability of the medullary renal tubules to concentrate the urine ( hyposthenuria)
  • Microalbuminuria, proteinuria

Respiratory[11]

  • wheezing
  • chronic cough
