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.

Associated persons: Arthur Cecil Alport William Howship Dickinson Description: The main characteristics of this very rare hereditary syndrome are progressive renal failure, nerve deafness and abnormities of the lense of the eye. Male/female relationship 1:1. Men are earlier and more severely affected than women. It is thought to be due to an autosomal inherited defect of the glomerular basement membrane of the kidneys. Death usually occurs before middle age.

Can people with Alport's Syndrome have dialysis or a kidney transplant? Should members of the family have tests to look for Alport's syndrome? What is Alport's Syndrome? Alport's syndrome is an inherited kidney disease (it runs in families). Men are more severely affected than women, and people can develop deafness as well as kidney failure. Why it is called Alport's Syndrome? Alport's syndrome is named after Dr A. Cecil Alport, who recognised families with the syndrome in 1927. He was born in 1880 in South Africa, and graduated as a doctor in Edinburgh. At first he worked in Johannesburg (owning a small gold mine). After the First World War he moved to St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, London, where he was working when he described the syndrome of hereditary renal failure and deafness. Later he worked in Cairo, and died in 1959. What Causes Alport's Syndrome, and differences between men and women?

91. UK NKF - How Is Alport's Syndrome Diagnosed? alport s syndrome. How is alport s syndrome diagnosed? alport s syndrome causes small amounts of blood to appear in the urine from a very early age. http://www.kidney.org.uk/Medical-Info/alports/diagnosis.html

Alport's Syndrome How is Alport's Syndrome diagnosed? Family screening An explanation of which family members should be screened is given later ( click here ). If someone is to be screened because of a family history, it may only be necessary to check the urine for blood. This can be done by taking a small sample of urine and dipping into it on a small plastic stick. Alport's syndrome causes small amounts of blood to appear in the urine from a very early age. This test is not completely foolproof - a negative urine test may need to be repeated several times to be sure there is no blood, and blood can be present for other reasons, such as a urine infection. Kidney biopsy Alport's syndrome causes a unique appearance when the kidney is examined under the microscope. The membrane that filters blood to make urine is split into several layers. Splitting is generally seen in men and in some women. Sometimes the membrane may just be very thin, which can make it more difficult to diagnose Alport's syndrome. If someone with a known family history of Alport's syndrome has blood in the urine, it is usually not necessary to perform a kidney biopsy. However, in some cases where the diagnosis is not proven, it may be necessary. Kidney biopsy carries a small risk of bleeding. For more information

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.
