Özet

Background: The X-linked Fabry disease (FD) with lysosomal storage of globotriaosylceramide (Gb3) due to alpha-galactosidase deficiency contributes to nephropathy consisting of proteinuria and renal failure eventually. Early initiation of the enzyme replacement therapy promises favorable renal outcomes. With the importance of early diagnosis, we screened FD among proteinuric patients in whom biopsy findings revealed Fabry nephropathy.
