Alport syndrome is a genetic disorder [1] affecting around 1 in 5,000–10,000 children, [2] characterized by glomerulonephritis, end-stage kidney disease, and hearing loss. [3] Alport syndrome can also affect the eyes, though the changes do not usually affect vision, except when changes to the lens occur in later life. Blood in urine is universal.
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common of all the inherited cystic kidney diseases [12] [13] [14] with an incidence of 1:500 live births. [12] [14] Studies show that 10% of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) patients being treated with dialysis in Europe and the U.S. were initially diagnosed and treated for ADPKD ...
