Overview
- The mainstay of therapy for Fabry's disease is enzyme replacement.
Medical Therapy
Specific Treatments
Enzyme replacement therapy (ERT):
- Recombinant human enzymes
- Indications:
- There are no specific guidelines for the timing of the treatment initiation
- One suggestion:
- Symptomatic and asymptomatic males (homozygotes)
- Symptomatic females or atypical males
- Drugs:
- Agalsidase alfa (Replagal): 0.2mg/kg IV every two week
- Agalsidase beta (Fabrazyme): 1mgl/kg IV every two weeks
Increase the enzyme activity:
- Stabilize the mutant form of the alpha-galactosidase enzyme and increase its activity.
- Indication: Patient with amenable GLA gene variants
- Drug:
- Migalastat: 123mg PO once every other day
Symptom and Complication Treatments
Kidney disease [1]
- ACE inhibitors and ARBs: can reduce proteinuria and stable GFR in patients with hypertension and Fabry's disease.
- Dialysis: in ESRD
Cardiovascular disease
- Anti-anginal medications[2]
- Antiarrhythmic medications[3]
- Heart failure Medications[4]
Neurological disease
- Neuropathic pain[5]
- Reduce by ERT
- Gabapentin
- Anti-convulsant drugs
- Reduce the risk of stroke[6]
- Antiplatelet (primary and secondary prevention)
