Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and left ventricular mass indexed to height (LVMI) were analyzed after treatment start (baseline) for patients with ≥3 measurements, including baseline and year 10.Results: Median (range) age (years) of the evaluable treated renal cohort at treatment start was 48.8 (17.9–67.3) for females (n=62), 34.4 (18.0–66.8) for males (n=90). With eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 at baseline, mean (95% CI) rate of eGFR change (eGFR/year) over 10 years was relatively stable in females (n=52; −0.55 [−1.12, +0.01]) and slightly declined in males (n=79; −1.99 [−2.45, −1.54]). With impaired kidney function (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) at baseline, mean (95% CI) eGFR/year was stable in females (n=10; −0.14 [−1.43, +1.15]) and slightly declined in males (n=11; −2.79 [−4.01, −1.56]) over 10 years. Median (range) age (years) of the evaluable treated cardiac cohort at treatment start was 46.7 (3.7–67.3) for females (n=34), 28.2 (4.0–54.2) for males (n=35). With left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH; LVMI >48 g/m2.7 in females, >50 g/m2.7 in males) at baseline, mean (95% CI) LVMI/year slightly increased over 10 years in females (n=18; +1.51 [+0.91, +2.12]) and males (n=14; +0.87 (+0.19, +1.55). Without LVH at baseline, mean (95% CI) LVMI/year was stable in females (n=16; +0.52 [−0.13, +1.17]) and males (n=21; +0.57 [+0.02, +1.13]) over 10 years.Conclusion: Agalsidase alfa-treated patients with 10-year FOS data and preserved kidney function and/or normal LVMI at baseline remained largely stable; those with decreased kidney function or LVH at baseline experienced modest declines in renal function and/or increases in LVMI.Keywords: agalsidase alfa, enzyme replacement therapy, Fabry disease, cardio-renal outcomes
