Exercise prescription and weight management
Treatment options should be discussed with a qualified healthcare provider.
Comprehensive Organ System Monitoring
Regular monitoring of cardiac, renal, and neurological function through imaging, laboratory tests, and specialist evaluations to detect and manage disease progression.
Additional treatment options
Symptomatic Pain Management
Pharmacological management of neuropathic pain and acroparesthesias using appropriate analgesic and nerve-stabilizing medications as prescribed by pain specialists.
medicationRenal-Protective Dietary Modifications
Dietary adjustments including reduced sodium and protein intake when indicated to support kidney function and manage hypertension associated with Fabry nephropathy.
dietaryChaperone Therapy Evaluation
For patients with amenable mutations, oral chaperone therapy may be considered to stabilize misfolded enzymes and enhance residual enzyme activity.
