Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Alport syndrome Definition A hereditary disease of the kidneys that primarily affects men, causing blood in the urine, hearing loss and eye problems. Eventually, kidney dialysis or transplant may be necessary. Description Alport syndrome affects about one in 5,000 Americans, striking men more often and severely than women. There are several varieties of the syndrome, some occurring in childhood and others not causing symptoms until men reach their 20s or 30s. All varieties of the syndrome are characterized by kidney disease that usually progresses to chronic kidney failure and by uremia (the presence of excessive amounts of urea and other waste products in the blood). Alport syndrome in most cases is caused by a defect in one or more genes located on the X chromosome. It is usually inherited from the mother, who is a normal carrier. However, in up to 20% of cases there is no family history of the disorder. In these cases, there appears to be a spontaneous genetic mutation causing Alport syndrome. Blood in the urine (hematuria) is a hallmark of Alport syndrome. Other symptoms that may appear in varying combinations include:

@import url(default.css); Back to Health Library Print This Page Email to a Friend Male urinary system Alport syndrome Definition: Alport syndrome is an inherited disorder (usually X-linked) involving damage to the kidney, blood in the urine , and in some families, loss of hearing. The disorder may also include eye defects. Alternative Names: Hereditary nephritis; Hematuria - nephropathy - deafness; Hemorrhagic familial nephritis; Hereditary deafness and nephropathy Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Alport syndrome is very similar to hereditary nephritis. There may be nerve deafness and congenital eye abnormalities associated with Alport syndrome. The cause is a mutation in a gene for collagen. The disorder is uncommon, and most often affects males since the genetic defect is typically found on the X chromosome. In women, the disorder is usually mild, with minimal or no symptoms. Women can transmit the gene for the disorder to their children, even if the woman has no symptoms of the disorder. In men, the symptoms are more severe and progress faster. The disorder causes chronic glomerulonephritis with destruction of the glomeruli in the kidneys. Initially, there are no symptoms. Progressive destruction of the glomeruli causes
