Alport syndrome or hereditary nephritis is a genetic disorder characterized by glomerulonephritis, end-stage kidney disease, and hearing loss. Alport syndrome can also affect the eyes causing eye abnormalities including cataracts,lenticonus, kerataconus, as well as retinal flecks in themacula and mid periphery. Visibly bloody urine and protein in the urine are common features of this condition.

Once people get this disease, the basement membranes of the kidneys are not able to filter waste products from the blood and create urine normally, allowing blood and protein into the urine.

In the past, as there is no known cure for the this disease, treatments are symptomatic. Patients are advised on how to manage the complications of kidney failure and the proteinuria that develops is often treated with ACE inhibitors. Once kidney failure has developed, patients are given dialysis or can benefit from a kidney transplant, although this can cause problems. The body may reject the new kidney as it contains normal type IV collagen, which may be recognized as foreign by the immune system

In our days, Micro-Chinese Medicine osmotherapy, which is an innovation and improvement of traditional Chinese Herb Medicine, as a possible treatment option has been applied in the treatment of this disease..
