  • Title: Alport's syndrome representing as crescentic glomerulonephritis: a report of two siblings.
    Author: Harris JP, Rakowski TA, Argy WP, Schreiner GE.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 1978 Dec; 10(6):245-9. PubMed ID: 729217.
    Abstract:
    Hereditary nephritis is a disease presenting with hematuria, proteinuria, and systemic findings including ocular lesions and deafness. Renal failure frequently occurs in males who have the disease at a young age. We report the case of a female with hereditary nephritis who presented with the classic clinical and pathologic features of crescentic glomerulonephritis post-pregnancy. A sibling also had a comparable course. It is proposed that crescentic glomerulonephritis may be a heretofore unreported presentation of hereditary nephritis with terminal renal failure.
