Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder with variable clinical expression, often underdiagnosed in developing countries. Renal involvement, although frequent and prognostically significant, may be subtle or misattributed to more common nephropathies. This report of six related cases highlights the diagnostic challenges in recognizing Fabry nephropathy, particularly where access to genetic testing and renal biopsy is limited. Early identification through family screening and targeted evaluation is crucial to improve renal outcomes, especially in low-resource settings. |
