    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Genetics
    • Otolaryngology

    Background:

    • Alport syndrome is a hereditary kidney disease.
    • It can lead to progressive renal failure and hearing loss.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review Alport syndrome.
    • To present a family case study.
    • To emphasize genetic counseling and hearing loss prophylaxis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of literature on Alport syndrome.
    • Description of seven family members with Alport syndrome.
    • Confirmation of diagnosis through percutaneous renal biopsy.

    Main Results:

    • The study describes the clinical presentation and diagnosis in a family affected by Alport syndrome.
    • Renal biopsy confirmed the disease in all affected members.

    Conclusions:

    • Alport syndrome requires careful genetic counseling for affected families.
    • Prophylaxis of hearing loss through cochlear protection is crucial for managing Alport syndrome.
