Abstract
High-sensitivity troponin is a crucial biomarker for the diagnosis of acute coronary syndrome.1 However, raised troponin has also been noted in numerous clinical conditions such as cardiomyopathy, pulmonary embolism and chronic kidney disease. In particular, troponin may be elevated in Fabry disease (FD), which is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder due to alpha-galactosidase deficiency.2 This results in cellular accumulation of glycosphingolipids in various organ systems, and may lead to cardiomyopathy and chronic renal failure.
