Research on Fabry disease highlights the importance of early treatment with agalsidase alfa to improve patient outcomes. This enzyme replacement therapy is shown to slow the progression of renal and cardiac complications, leading to better quality of life and potentially longer life expectancy.

By comparing treated patients with untreated cohorts, studies demonstrate that timely intervention can prevent severe health issues. Effective treatment reduces disease severity and mortality rates, emphasizing the need for ongoing monitoring and intervention in Fabry disease management (Ramaswami et al., 2025).

Hi everyone,

April is Fabry Disease Awareness Month, and we're celebrating by sharing Fabry facts every weekday.

Did you know our fact of the day?

Adults with Fabry disease are recommended to have regular brain MRIs. Even in the absence of symptoms, brain MRIs should be performed routinely in males starting at age 21 and in females starting at age 30.

This should be repeated at least every 3 years in men and women if the result is normal. Your doctors may wish to perform this test more often based on your medical or family history.
