Diagnosis and treatment of Fabry disease. Expert Opinion of the Polish Cardiac Society and the Polish Forum for Fabry Disease
Abstract
Fabry disease (FD) belongs to the group of lysosomal storage diseases (LSD), which are characterised by insufficient activity of enzymes responsible for the intra-lysosomal breakdown of various substrates. The result is an uncontrolled accumulation of by-products of cellular metabolism. Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited diseases, transmitted mainly in an autosomal recessive fashion. In the absence of a positive family history, an early diagnosis can often be missed. In addition, the age of clinical manifestation can range from infancy to adulthood — a distinction is made between severe “classic” variants of the disorders, presenting in childhood, and forms with late onset. Some of the conditions in this group may not show typical signs of tissue storage, such as liver and spleen enlargement, especially in subtypes associated with neurodegenerative changes.
The aim of the Expert Opinion of the Polish Cardiac Society and the Polish Forum for Fabry Disease is to summarise the current knowledge on FD, present advances in diagnosis and therapy and disseminate known diagnostic and therapeutic algorithms for this group of patients.
