Abstract. Alport syndrome (AS) or hereditary nephritis is a hereditary disease, which is most characterized by kidney damage caused by abnormalities of the α3, α4 or α5 chains in type IV collagen. Boys suffer from this hereditary pathology more often than girls. AS is more severe in males, up to a condition requiring kidney transplantation. This article describes the prevalence of this genetic disease, modern classification, and also presents 2 clinical cases of AS, in a boy and a girl from the same family.
