Prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension in patients with Fabry disease.
BACKGROUND Fabry disease is a rare X-linked disease arising from deficiency of alpha-galactosidase A. It results in early death related to renal, cardiac, and cerebrovascular disease, which are also important outcomes in patients with elevated blood pressure (BP). The prevalence of uncontrolled hypertension, as well as the effect of enzyme replacement therapy on BP, in patients with Fabry disea...
متن کاملMasked Uncontrolled Hypertension in CKD.
Masked uncontrolled hypertension (MUCH) is diagnosed in patients treated for hypertension who are normotensive in the clinic but hypertensive outside. In this study of 333 veterans with CKD, we prospectively evaluated the prevalence of MUCH as determined by ambulatory BP monitoring using three definitions of hypertension (daytime hypertension ≥135/85 mmHg; either nighttime hypertension ≥120/70 ...
متن کاملNephropathy in Fabry disease and iatrogenic phospholipidosis mimicking Fabry disease
Fabry disease is a rare X-linked inborn error of the glycosphingolipid metabolism caused by deficient activity of lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A. It is characterized by progressive multisystemic involvement that leads to premature death due to major organ failure, particularly the kidneys and heart. It appears that the disease is underdiagnosed in patients with end-stage renal disease. ...
متن کاملPredictors of uncontrolled hypertension in ambulatory patients.
Hypertension remains poorly controlled in the United States. Improvement of its management will require an understanding of the patient characteristics and treatment factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension. We studied antihypertensive medication use, comorbidity, and blood pressure measurements for 525 hypertensive patients in 3 different healthcare systems over a 1-year period. We co...
متن کاملFabry disease
Fabry disease (FD) is a progressive, X-linked inherited disorder of glycosphingolipid metabolism due to deficient or absent lysosomal α-galactosidase A activity. FD is pan-ethnic and the reported annual incidence of 1 in 100,000 may underestimate the true prevalence of the disease. Classically affected hemizygous males, with no residual α-galactosidase A activity may display all the characteris...
