There are several hereditary forms of nephritis. Alport's syndrome (AS) is one of these but is unique because of the additional symptom of hearing loss in the presence of kidney failure. The disorder causes chronic glomerulonephritis with destruction of the glomeruli. The eventual result is end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis (or transplantation) develops between adolescence and age 40. AS affects the basement membranes which are the supporting layers of epithelial and endothelial tissues that make up much of the body's surfaces. The cause is a mutation in a gene for collagen. The disorder is uncommon, affecting about 2 out of 10,000 people. Nephritis is a general term for inflammation of the kidneys. There are several hereditary forms of nephritis.

Ask the Doctor Q: Alport's Syndrome I am trying to find out some information about Alport's Syndrome, can you help? What is it, is it curable? Gillian Dr Trisha Macnair responds Alport's Syndrome is a rare inherited problem which has a combination of the effects. Most commonly the kidneys are affected, with nephritis (inflammation) and the gradual development of kidney failure. But hearing may also be affected (there is nerve deafness - i.e. it is the nerves which detect hearing which are to blame rather than structures in the ear or brain). Very rarely there may also be problems with the platelets in the blood, which are tiny cells that normally control the 'stickiness' and clotting of blood. It's much more common in boys Because it is inherited , several people in one family may have the same problem. Alport's is unusual because it is one of the few problems thought to be carried on the X chromosome (the 'female" chromosome). Girls are protected to a degree because they carry two X chromosomes and so may have a normal copy of the gene as well as the faulty one. However, boys carry one X and one Y chromosome, and so those who carry a faulty gene have no normal X to protect them. This is why men develop Alport's Syndrome more often than women. But there are several different types of Alport's Syndrome and the exact way in which it is inherited is still under debate.

Alport's Health Report By Allison McClelland Alport's Syndrome is a genetic dysfunction in the kidney. This syndrome is generally recognized as a common form of the disease Hereditary Nephritis. All the syndromes labeled under Hereditary Nephritis are brought about by a genetic dysfunction in the kidney and cause the kidney to wear and break down over time. There are many hereditary kidney diseases: Fabry Disease, Nail Patella Syndrome, Oxalosis, Hyperoxaluria and polycystic chronic hepatic fibrosis are a few of them. The kidney is a vital organ in the body that functions in the excretory system. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood and help to keep the body's balance of fluid and minerals. This is how urine is formed. The kidneys work as a filtration system that stops poison and diseases from building up in the blood. The position of the kidneys (one on each side of the backbone, near the back and right beneath the diaphragm,) make them very vulnerable to problems and injuries. Most of the problems, however, are caused by disease. Alport's Syndrome primarily affects the glomerular membrane and makes it thin and weak. Over time, Alport's can result in partial or full loss of kidney function; this is also referred to as acute renal failure. The symptoms of Alport's are noticeable blood and/or protein (chronic hematuria) in the urine causing the urine to turn orange, bright yellow, or even in some cases, red. In advanced levels of Alport's, uremia, hearing loss, vision problems or blindness may occur. A patient usually develops high blood pressure as the kidney function dissipates and will need to take medication to control the problem. Even with its many problems, the kidney may look pretty regular, although cysts may occur. Other symptoms of kidney problems are nausea, problems digesting food, sleepiness, skin becoming dry and icy, bruising easily, and loss of appetite.

Inheritance is usually autosomal dominant. Both sexes are affected, but the disease starts earlier in males and has a more rapid course. Clinical features include intermittent haematuria, progressive renal failure, and progressive high-frequency nerve deafness. Nephrotic syndrome is rare. Ocular abnormalities include posterior cataracts, lens dislocation, corneal dystrophy, nystagmus and myopia. Pathologically, the kidneys are small with patchy interstitial fibrosis. Foam cells in the vicinity of the corticomedullary junction are a distinctive microscopic finding. Intravenous urography or CT show small kidneys with impaired contrast excretion. Nephrocalcinosis may be present. HH The Encyclopaedia of Medical Imaging Volume IV:2 Welcome to Medcyclopaedia.
