Alport syndrome is a hereditary clinical condition characterized by multisystemic changes (sensorineural and ocular deafness) associated with hematuria and proteinuria. Due to its genetic variability and multiple symptoms, it is often diagnosed by chance and too late. The present work focuses on this pathology through a clinical case report. It also mentions the new therapeutic possibilities relating to this disease.
