Recurrent Cerebrovascular Complications under Enzyme Replacement Therapy in a Patient with Fabry Disease on Peritoneal Dialysis.

Fabry disease is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to mutations in the alpha-galactosidase A gene, which leads to the accumulation of globotriaosylceramide in various organs. In Fabry disease with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), cerebrovascular events are lethal, even with enzyme replacement therapy (ERT). However, the utility of biomarkers to evaluate the ERT response is unclear. We herein report a case of recurrent cerebrovascular complications under ERT in a Fabry disease patient, progressing to ESRD on peritoneal dialysis. Further studies are warranted, but Fabry disease patients with ESRD receiving ERT might need careful long-term follow-up in cases with cerebrovascular manifestations.
