In a world where technology reigns supreme, one of the most profound tools in medicine remains the irreplaceable electrocardiogram (ECG). This noninvasive method provides a graphical visualization of millivolt potentials received by electrodes located on the patient’s skin. It can measure many aspects, from how fast the heart beats to how well its chambers conduct electrical energy.

The pathophysiology of Fabry nephropathy (FN) is induced by galactosidase A deficiency with a chronic exposure of glycolipids to every lineage of renal cells. Tissue damage is attributed to the activation of molecular pathways, resulting in tissue fibrosis and chronic kidney disease. Podocytes have been the primary focus in clinical pathophysiological research because of the striking accumulation of large glycolipid deposits observable in histology.
