Alport syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by the progressive loss of kidney function and hearing. Alport syndrome can also affect the eyes. The presence of blood in the urine (hematuria) is almost always found in this condition. Many people with Alport syndrome also exhibit high levels of protein in their urine (proteinuria). As this condition progresses, the kidneys become less able to function properly and kidney failure results. Hearing loss is a common feature of Alport syndrome, but the abnormalities in the eyes seldom lead to loss of vision. How common is Alport syndrome?

Background This is a rare inherited disease that chiefly affects the kidneys. It is caused by mutations in one or the other of several COL4A genes. These genes encode for the elements of the basement membrane (Type IV) collagen. The result is a hereditary glomerulonephritis with a chronic nephritis that progresses to end-stage renal disease. Associated conditions include hearing loss, lenticonus and other eye disorders, immunologic abnormality of skin, disorders of platelets, abnormalities of white blood cells, and smooth muscle tumors.

Alport syndrome Dr Trisha Macnair Dr Trisha Macnair Those affected by alport syndrome develop progressive loss of renal (kidney) function, and sometimes progressive deafness and abnormalities of the eye. In this article What is it? Who's affected? Diagnosis Treatment What is it? Alport syndrome is the second most common inheirited cause of kidney failure. There are many other, much more common, acquired causes of kidney failure, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney that may develop for a variety of reasons). It occurs when a special type of collagen normally found in the kidney is missing or abnormal. One of the early signs of alport syndrome may be small amounts of blood or protein in the urine during childhood. Who's affected? It's more common among males About one in 5,000 children are affected by alport syndrome. Because of the way in which it's inherited, it's more common among males. The gene that causes most cases (called COL4A5) is on the X chromosome. Women have two X chromosomes, so they usually have a healthy gene as well as the faulty one, but men don't because they have an X chromosome and a Y one. Women who carry the faulty gene may have minor kidney problems and sometimes more serious kidney disease.
