I read on the US News & World Report that UCLA Nephrology was just ranked #3 in the nation! Congrats!!

[@chandansaloni]

Beautifully explained sir

[@ashleyalbert9719]

I found it morbidly humorous that you had an organ donation comment placed in your slide first thing. Like, " Hey All! In the case you die young, people could use your organs!"

can the angioketaromas be very sparse and still be indicative of having it ? angiokeratomas can occur for many reasons

[@geraldholcomb2049]

Yes, mine started in my early 20's. They have increased as time has gone on.

What if I have angiokaratomas and some diarrhea but zero nerve pain. Should I get rested for fabry's

[@VishalPandey710]

Hi how r u? Get testes for gla gene test

[@geraldholcomb2049]

@@VishalPandey710 you need to request an enzyme assay test. Sometimes a regular doctor will request it for you or a geneticist can request it. The affected gene is the GLA gene. In men an ezyme assay test is sufficient for diagnosis.

if you are here because you googled "purple spots on your balls", and they are "blanchable" as mentioned here... you don't have this :D

[@geraldholcomb2049]

Not true. My nuts were the first place they showed up. I now have them on my sides as well.
