===Symptoms===
*Lack of sweating ([[anhidrosis]]) or decreased sweating
*[[fatigue (medical)|Fatigue]]
*Red spots on skin ([[angiokeratoma]]s): tiny, painless [[papules]] that appear at any region of the body, but are predominant on the thighs, buttocks, lower abdomen, and groin.
*Burning pain of the extremities. This pain can become very intense, especially when one has a fever.
*[[Loss of vision]] or blurry vision from corneal opacities.
*[[Difficulty swallowing]] ([[dysphagia]])

==== Other ====
*[[Fractures]] from [[Osteoporosis|osteoporotic bone]]
*[[Delayed puberty]]: lack of development of [[secondary sexual characteristics]]
*Male [[infertility]]
*[[Priapism]]
 
=== Laboratory Findings ===
*Blood tests
**[[Anemia]]
**[[Serum creatinine]] may be raised from [[chronic renal failure]]
**Serum [[urea]] may be elevated
**[[BUN]] may be raised
*[[Urinalysis]]:
**[[Hematuria]]
**[[Proteinuria]]
 
====ECG abnormalities====
*[[AV node]] conduction block
*[[PR interval]] shortening
*[[Arrhythmia]]s
 
==== Ultrasound ====
*[[Hemangioma]]s
 
==Treatment==
*Until recently, treatment of Fabry's disease targeted the [[symptomatic]] effects.  However, it is currently being treated at the cellular level through enzyme replacement therapy using [[Agalsidase alpha]] (Replagal) and [[Agalsidase beta]] (Fabrazyme®).
*The cost of these drugs is problematic (approximately $170,000 US a year/patient) and remains a barrier to many patients in some countries. Enzyme replacement therapy (typically infused every two weeks) may be performed in the patient's home by the patients themselves. Enzyme replacement therapy is not a cure, and must be infused recurrently for maximum benefit.
