October 24, 2018
Fabry's disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects every one in forty thousand males and some females. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. Multiple regions of the body can be affected by Fabry's disease, and symptoms range from ringing in the ears and hearing loss to a burning sensation covering the skin, gastrointestinal problems, and major organ complications. Patients with Fabry's disease have a life expectancy of fifty-eight years in males and seventy-five in females, though the disease is far more prevalent in men than women. If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with Fabry's disease, there are some treatment options available that may reduce symptoms and improve the condition.
