Fabry disease is a progressive X-linked disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism that typically presents in childhood and progresses to heart failure and renal failure in adulthood. This study sought to determine the prevalence of Fabry disease in a multiethnic male chronic kidney disease population, involving dialysis-dependent, non-dialysis-dependent, and transplant patients.
