Fabry disease: a rare condition that can have a serious impact on the body.
Fabry disease is an inherited condition where the body is unable to properly break down certain fatty substances. Over time, these substances can build up in cells and affect important organs - including the kidneys, heart, eyes, blood vessels and nervous system.
Because symptoms can vary and may appear unrelated, Fabry disease is often difficult to recognise. Some signs to be aware of include:
• Kidney problems - reduced kidney function or kidney disease
• Heart problems - thickening of the heart muscle or rhythm changes
• Nerve symptoms - burning sensations, tingling, pain or numbness
• Temperature regulation problems - difficulty sweating or managing heat
• Eye changes - vision-related symptoms
• Increased risk of stroke or mini-strokes
Early diagnosis can help protect vital organs and allow appropriate specialist care.
If you or a loved one experience unexplained symptoms or have a family history of Fabry disease, speak to a healthcare professional.
Specialist care. Personalised attention. Better outcomes.
