Assess Urine Biomarkers to Predict Nephropathy in Fabry Disease
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to collect biological samples (urine) to develop assays for immune biomarkers to possibly in the future be able to screen subjects with Fabry disease and be able to understand better progression of nephropathy in Fabry disease and predict nephropathy in Fabry disease.

Detailed Description
This is a study to assess the markers related to autophagy, apoptosis, pyroptosis, and inflammatory markers related to NFkB, TNF-alpha, and TGF-β1 pathways in the urine. Urinary biomarkers will then be compared to the standard measures of kidney function and proteinuria: GFR, cystatin-C, B2M, bikunin, NGAL. Gb3 and Lyso-Gb3, urine microalbumin, and urine protein-to-creatinine (UPCR) ratio. Investigators will also analyze the role of therapy, especially for the inflammatory responses in participants on stable enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) with that of patients naïve to therapy.
There will be a total of 25 biomarkers that will be assessed during the study. Biomarkers of inflammation
