    Abstract Alport syndrome is an inherited disorder of the kidneys that results from variants in three collagen IV genes-COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. Early diagnosis and pharmacologic intervention can delay the progression of chronic kidney disease and the onset of kidney failure in patients with Alport syndrome. This article describes the evolution of approaches to the diagnosis and early treatment of Alport syndrome.

    Abstract Recent trends in the diagnosis, treatment, and classification of collagen IV-associated kidney disease are likely to result in increasing numbers of people in adult nephrology practices who have a confirmed diagnosis of Alport syndrome. These trends include the increasing use of genetic testing in the diagnostic evaluation of people with hematuria, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, and chronic kidney disease of unknown etiology; early treatment with inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to delay kidney failure; and application of an expanded definition of Alport syndrome based on genotype rather than phenotype. This commentary discusses these trends and their implications for the adult nephrologist.

    Abstract Alport syndrome is a genetically and phenotypically heterogeneous disorder of glomerular, cochlear, and ocular basement membranes resulting from mutations in the collagen IV genes COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5. Alport syndrome can be transmitted as an X-linked, autosomal recessive, or autosomal dominant disorder. Individuals with Alport syndrome have a significant lifetime risk for kidney failure, as well as sensorineural deafness and ocular abnormalities. The availability of effective intervention for Alport syndrome-related kidney disease makes early diagnosis crucial, but this can be impeded by the genotypic and phenotypic complexity of the disorder. This review presents an approach to enhancing early diagnosis and achieving optimal outcomes.

    Abstract Alport syndrome is an inherited disorder of basement membrane collagen IV that frequently results in end-stage renal disease. Patients with Alport syndrome who undergo renal transplantation have generally excellent outcomes. Posttransplant antiglomerular basement membrane nephritis is a rare complication of renal transplantation for Alport syndrome. Because Alport syndrome is a genetic disorder, potential related donors must be carefully evaluated in order to minimize harm.

    Abstract In 2013, we published a set of clinical practice recommendations for the treatment of Alport syndrome in this journal. We recommended delaying the initiation of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibition until the onset of overt proteinuria or, in some cases, microalbuminuria. Developments that have occurred over the past 7 years have prompted us to revise these recommendations. We now recommend the initiation of treatment at the time of diagnosis in males with X-linked Alport syndrome and in males and females with autosomal recessive Alport syndrome. We further recommend starting treatment at the onset of microalbuminuria in females with X-linked Alport syndrome and in males and females with autosomal dominant Alport syndrome. This article presents the rationale for these revisions as well as recommendations for diagnostic tactics intended to ensure the early diagnosis of Alport syndrome.
