Abstract:Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder that causes progressive cellular accumulation of glycosphingolipids, leading to various end-organ manifestations such as chronic kidney disease and cardiomyopathy. Currently, troponin is the preferred biomarker to identify acute coronary syndromes and cardiac inflammation/myocarditis, as well as monitor myocardial damage.Macrotroponin is an immunoglobulin G-troponin bound complex with reduced clearance due to its higher molecular weight. This can caus… Show more
