Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an international, non-interventional research study of adult patients with Fabry Disease and their caregivers. The study comprised a prospective time and motion evaluation and a cross-sectional evaluation of patient and caregiver-reported outcomes. The study evaluated the time associated with the preparation and administration of a single dose of enzyme replacement therapy (ERT) in patients by health care providers as well as the impact on Fabry patients and caregivers time and costs associated with an ERT treatment. The study also evaluated the patients' quality of life wellbeing, fatigue and work productivity.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Patients with a documented diagnosis of Fabry Disease (FD)
* Patients who have received ≥4 doses of ERT (with agalsidase alfa or agalsidase beta) for the treatment of FD.
* Patients who present to the participating hospital(s) or treatment centre(s) for administration of a dose of ERT (as part of their routine treatment) during the data collection period.


-Self-identifies as a caregiver of a patient with FD for whom written informed consent has been obtained for inclusion in the study.

Exclusion Criteria
