Alport syndrome

Alport syndrome, also known as hereditary progressive nephritis or oculo-auditory-renal syndrome, is one of the most common inherited kidney diseases. Clinically, it is primarily characterized by hematuria and progressive decline in renal function. Some patients may also experience sensorineural hearing loss and ocular abnormalities. Alport syndrome is a hereditary disorder, with X-linked dominant inheritance being the most common mode of inheritance. Alport syndrome can be classified into three types based on clinical presentation: X-linked dominant inheritance: This accounts for 85% of Alport syndrome patients. Autosomal recessive inheritance: This includes 10% of Alport syndrome patients. Autosomal dominant inheritance: This includes approximately 5% of Alport syndrome patients.

Hereditary nephritis

Hereditary nephritis is a relatively common genetic kidney disease, primarily characterized by hematuria, proteinuria, progressive decline in renal function, accompanied by sensorineural hearing loss and ocular abnormalities. This disease is often incurable, but renal function can be maintained by controlling proteinuria, reducing damage to renal tubular epithelial cells, and slowing the progression to renal failure.
