Outcomes of male patients with alport syndrome undergoing renal replacement therapy [PDF]
Item does not contain fulltextBACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Patients with the hereditary disease Alport syndrome commonly require renal replacement therapy (RRT) in the second or third decade of life. This study compared age at onset of RRT, renal allograft,

Does Alport syndrome affect the basement membrane of peritoneal vessels?
Alport syndrome and encapsulating peritoneal sclerosis (EPS) are both rare diseases. Their joint occurrence is highly unlikely. Two patients at our center with Alport syndrome developed EPS. We therefore hypothesized that Alport syndrome might predispose

Background Alport syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive kidney disease, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities. It is caused by variants in the COL4A3, COL4A4 or COL4A5 genes, which disrupt the synthesis, secretion and assembly of

Literary Research on Alport Syndrome
Alport syndrome is rare genetic disorder of the glomerulus in the kidneys that can be X-linked, Autosomal recessive, or Autosomal dominant in nature. Clinical manifestation includes hearing loss, hematuria, proteinuria, and hypertension (Cheungpasitporn,

Genetic heterogeneity of Alport syndrome
Genetic heterogeneity of Alport syndrome. Forty-one families have been studied with stringent diagnostic criteria of Alport syndrome: proven renal disease with hematuria affecting at least two relatives, neural hearing loss in at least one affected ...
