Overview

The mainstay of therapy for Fabry's disease is enzyme replacement by Agalsidases. Other treatment is increasing the enzyme activity by Migalastat. There are also some general treatments for Fabry's disease complications.

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:

Increase the enzyme activity:

Symptom and Complication Treatments

Kidney disease [8]

Cardiovascular disease

Neurological disease
