Story about Alport Syndrome , Alport Syndrome.

Our daughter

Aug 15, 2017

By: Lisa


In 2012 our youngest daughter, born in 2010, got hospitalized due to pneumonia. During basic testings they discovered protein and microscopic hematuria in her urine samples, and since they couldn't find any reason to why they sent her for a genetic screening wich came back positive for Alports syndrome. 

She's well this far, with the microscopic hematuria constantly present, but with protein only on and off. We're also monitoring eyes and ears regularly, but this far she passes these test with good results. No medication. 

Her mother (me) has had microscopic hematuria for all my life, just like my mother, but none of us has bothered to act upon it. Not until my daughter got the diagnos. Now I am also about to do a biopsy screening for AS - we'll see what that result is.
