Abstract
- Alport's syndrome is a progressive hereditary kidney disease. The disease is primarily X chromosome- linked but autosomal forms have also been reported. The authors experienced a case of Alport's syndrome in a 19-year-old man who showed persistent hematuria and proteinuria. The diagnosis was based on the presence of hematuria on the pedigree of patient's maternal site and characteristic electron microscopic findings of renal tissue, and persistent hematuria. There was, however, no abnormal finding on audiogram and eye exami-nation. We report this case with a review of literature.
