We report the case of a renal transplantation performed with the kidney of an asymptomatic female carrier of Fabry's disease. The recipient, her daughter, had normal alpha-galactosidase levels. Eight years after transplantation, the characteristic lesions of the glomerular epithelial cells, noted as early as 11 days after transplantation, are unchanged on the successive biopsies. This observation suggests that 1) some heterozygotes (perhaps all of them) have glomerular changes, 2) the glomerular changes are not modified if the kidney is placed in a normal enzymatic "environment".

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.
