I have Alport's Syndrome and there is limited information about it anywhere. Does anyone know anymore about it other that it familial, x dominant, usually only has "associated problems:" hypertension, hearing loss, visual loss, heamturia, proteinuria. Very few end up in ERSD, particularly women. The main etiology is widening of the basement mem
ane. Any other information would be great! Thanks!! <
