Alport syndrome
Sensorineural hearing loss
Sensorineural hearing loss is a characteristic feature observed commonly, but not universally, in Alport syndrome.
Hearing loss is never congenital.
Bilateral, high-frequency sensorineural deafness usually begins in late childhood or early adolescence, before the onset of kidney failure.
Hematuria
Gross or microscopic hematuria is the commonest and earliest sign of Alport syndrome.
Proteinuria
Proteinuria is generally absent in childhood but ultimately develops in males with XLAS and male and female patients with ARAS
Sensorineural hearing loss is a characteristic feature observed commonly, but not universally, in Alport syndrome. Hearing loss is never congenital.
Anterior lenticonus
Anterior lenticonus, occurring in around 25% of patients with XLAS, is a characteristic feature of Alport syndrome.
Dot-and-fleck retinopathy
Dot-and-fleck retinopathy is the commonest ocular manifestation of Alport syndrome, occurring in around 85% of males with XLAS.
Diffuse leiomyomatosis
Diffuse leiomyomatosis of the tracheobronchial tree and esophagus has been observed in some families with Alport syndrome
