Medical Dictionary Naturapathic Glossary Aphrodisiacs Immune System ... Table of content Alport syndrome Causes and Risks: 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, affecting about 2 out of 10,000 people. 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. Initially, there are no symptoms. Progressive destruction of the glomeruli causes blood in the urine and decreases the effectiveness of the kidney's filtering system. There is progressive loss of kidney function and accumulation of fluids and wastes in the body, with eventual progression to end-stage renal (kidney) disease at an early age.

Below: Definition Description Causes and symptoms Diagnosis ... Resources 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). Causes and symptoms 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:

La maladie ne récidive pas sur le transplant mais 3 à 4 % des patients développent une maladie des anticorps anti-membrane basale glomérulaire de novo. Les anticorps sont généralement dirigés contre l'antigène de Goodpasture, situé dans la chaîne alpha 3, et sont similaires aux anticorps présents dans les formes "classiques" de maladie anti-GBM. Cet antigène est reconnu comme étranger dans le greffon, probablement parce qu'il n'est pas exprimé dans le rein natif en raison de l'absence de formation du collagène spécifique contenant l'association de chaînes alpha 3- alpha 5.

Is there any treatment to prevent kidney failure? What about ear and eye damage - is this serious? Does everyone with Alport's Syndrome develop kidney failure? 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?

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

Contact Alport's syndrome Also known as: Dickinson's hereditary deafness nephropathy Dickinson’s syndrome Synonyms: Congenital hereditary hematuria, hematuria nephropathy-deafness syndrome, hematuric familial nephropathy, hematuric hereditary nephritis, hemorrhagic familial nephritis, hereditäres Nephropathie-Taubheits-Syndrom (German), hereditary familial congenital hemorrhagic nephritis, hereditary nephritis, hereditary nephritis-deafness syndrome, hereditary nephropathy-deafness syndrome, néphropathie héréditaire avec surdité (French), Nephropathie mit Innenohrschwerhörigkeit (German), progressive hereditary nephritis. 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. In 1902 L. B. Guthrie reported a family in which 12 individuals showed recurrent hematuria. At the time of this report, none of the affected individualt exhibited evidence of chronic renal damage. Arthur Frederick Hurst (1879-) in 1923 described the development of uremia in several members of this family. Alport updated the pedigree to extend over three generations. He recognised that deafness was a syndromic component and that the disorder tended to be more severe in males than females, that affected males died of uremia, while females lived to old age. In the opening paragraphs of his paper, he commented that familial albuminuria had been reported by William Howship Dickinson (1832-1913) in 1875.
