Overview
Pathophysiology
Alport’s syndrome is characterized by the defect of alpha chains of type IV collagen that constitute a triad of manifestations: renal, auditory, and ocular. Involvement of the glomerular basement membrane is the hallmark of Alport’s syndrome.[1][2] It is still controversial as to whether the basement membrane becomes thicker or thinner to induce splitting.
