Abstract
Nephropathy is a major Fabry disease complication. Kidney biopsies reveal glomerulosclerosis even in pediatric patients. The main manifestations of Fabry nephropathy include reduced glomerular filtration rate and proteinuria. In 2016, an oral pharmacological Chaperone was approved to treat Fabry patients with “amenable” mutations. Because (i) Fabry disease is a rare disorder that frequently causes kidney damage, and (ii) a new therapeutic is currently available, it is necessary to review wich biomarkers are useful for nephropathy follow-up among Fabry “amenable” patients receiving migalastat. The literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, Cochrane, and Google academic. Prospective studies in which renal biomarkers were the dependent variable or criterion, with at least 6 months of follow-up, were included. Finally, we recorded relevant information in an ad hoc database and summarized the main results. To date, the main useful biomarker for nephropathy monitoring among Fabry “amenable” patients receiving migalastat is glomerular filtration rate estimated by equations that include serum creatinine.
