Effects Of Sodium Glucose Cotranspoter 2 Inhibitors On Heart And Kidneys In Fabry Disease Patients

The goal of this clinical trial is to test dapagliflizone in Fabry patients. The main questions it aims to answer are:

* Has 10 mg/d of dapagliflozin a positive effect on kidney functions of Fabry patients.
* Has 10 mg/d of dapagliflozin a positive effect on heart functions in Fabry patients.

Participants will be asked to

* Sign an informed consent
* Give a blood and urine samples
* Be subjected to Echocardiography investigation
* Take 10 mg/day Dapagliflizone

Researchers will compare treatment to placebo groups to see if kidneys and heart functions will be improved in the treatment group better more than the placebo group.
