Risk calculators and risk factors for Alport syndrome differential diagnosis |
The differential diagnosis of Alport’s syndrome includes other conditions that involve persistent familial hematuria, renal failure, hearing loss, retinal fleck, and lamellated GBM.[1]Some of the other diseases are listed in the table below.[2][3][4][5][6]
According to expert opinion[1], the differential diagnosis of Alport’s syndrome is very wide and includes the following:
Familial Hematuria
- TBMN
- Familial IgA nephropathy
- MYH9-related disorder, such as Fechtner and Epstein syndromes
- Membranoproliferative GN type 2
- Familail hemolytic uremic syndrome
- C3 nephropathy
- ADPKD
- Sickle cell disease or trait
- Familial hypercalciuria or familial urolithiasis
Renal Impairment and Hearing Loss
- MYH-9 related disorders such as Fechtner syndrome
- Nephronophthisis
- Bartter syndrome
- Distal renal tubular acidosis
- MELAS syndrome
- Fabry disease
- Branchio-oto-renal syndrome
- Townes-Brock syndrome
- CHARGE syndrome
- Kallmann syndrome
- Alstrom disease
- Muckle-Wells syndrome
Hearing Loss
- Middle-ear infections
- Age
- Industrial noise exposure
- Ototoxic drugs
- Renal failure and dialysis
Retinal Flecks
- Membranoproliferative GN type 2
- IgA nephropathy
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Other forms of GN
- Severe hypertension
- C3 nephropathy
Lamellated Glomerular Basement Membrane
- Focal damage
- MYH9-related disorders, such as Fechtner and Epstein syndromes
- Pierson syndrome
- Nail-patella syndrome
- Mutations in the tetraspanin (CD151) gene
- Frasier syndrome
- Galloway-Mowat syndrome
