Deficiency in the Screening Process of Fabry Disease: Analysis of Chronic Kidney Patients Not on Dialysis.

ABSTRACT: Fabry Disease (FD), a rare and progressive, X-linked lysosomal storage disorder, is caused by mutations in the ?-galactosidase A (GLA) gene which leads to enzymatic deficiency of GLA. Misdiagnosed and undiagnosed FD cases are common for the variable FD phenotype, ranging from asymptomatic and/or impairment of single organs, which is typically seen in females and in patients with late-onset mutation, to multiple organ disease, which is frequently found in males with classic GLA mutation. Consequently, for an early diagnosis and an efficient treatment of FD, three different strategies of screening, new-born screening, high-risk screening and familiar screening, have been conducted. However, most of FD screening in the CKD population has been carried out in hemodialysis patients and kidney transplant recipients, for whom the renal damage is already irreversible, so the effectiveness of enzymatic replacement therapy is limited and delayed therapeutic intervention results in worse long-term outcomes. This review investigates the actual strategies of screening initiatives for the identification of FD, examining in detail those performed in CKD patients not on dialysis.

Project description:Background In participants with concomitant chronic coronary disease and advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), the effect of treatment strategies on the timing of dialysis initiation is not well characterized. Methods and Results In ISCHEMIA-CKD (International Study of Comparative Health Effectiveness With Medical and Invasive Approaches-Chronic Kidney Disease), 777 participants with advanced CKD and moderate or severe ischemia were randomized to either an initial invasive or conservative management strategy. Herein, we compare the proportion of randomized participants with non-dialysis-requiring CKD at baseline (n=362) who initiated dialysis and compare the time to dialysis initiation between invasive versus conservative management arms. Using multivariable Cox regression analysis, we also sought to identify the effect of invasive versus conservative chronic coronary disease management strategies on dialysis initiation. At a median follow-up of 23 months (25th-75th interquartile range, 14-32 months), dialysis was initiated in 18.9% of participants (36/190) in the invasive strategy and 16.9% of participants (29/172) in the conservative strategy (P=0.22). The median time to dialysis initiation was 6.0 months (interquartile range, 3.0-16.0 months) in the invasive group and 18.2 months (interquartile range, 12.2-25.0 months) in the conservative group (P=0.004), with no difference in procedural acute kidney injury rates between the groups (7.8% versus 5.4%; P=0.26). Baseline clinical factors associated with earlier dialysis initiation were lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate (hazard ratio [HR] associated with 5-unit decrease, 2.08 [95% CI, 1.72-2.56]; P<0.001), diabetes (HR, 2.30 [95% CI, 1.28-4.13]; P=0.005), hypertension (HR, 7.97 [95% CI, 1.09-58.21]; P=0.041), and Hispanic ethnicity (HR, 2.34 [95% CI, 1.22-4.47]; P=0.010). Conclusions In participants with non-dialysis-requiring CKD in ISCHEMIA-CKD, randomization to an invasive chronic coronary disease management strategy (relative to a conservative chronic coronary disease management strategy) is associated with an accelerated time to initiation of maintenance dialysis for kidney failure.
