The Alport syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by hematuria, sensorineural deafness, and ocular manifestations. The Alport syndrome accounts for 0.3 to 2.3% of end-stage kidney disease in young males and children. Here we report a case of the Alport syndrome, with all the characteristic features.
