Alport's syndrome probably is a molecular disorder of basement membrane composition. Investigation of urine on basement membrane components such as hydroxylysine and its glycosides, glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine and galactosylhydroxylysine, may be helpful for diagnosis of the disease. Urinary specimens of 33 patients and 12 siblings were investigated, and the results were compared with those of 14 healthy adults and of 29 healthy children. The urine of patients with glomerulopathies, occurring during childhood (IgA nephropathy, benign recurrent hematuria, poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, Henoch-Schönlein nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and nephrotic syndrome due to minimal lesions), was also investigated. No marked differences between normal and diseased subjects could be demonstrated, with respect to excretion of hydroxylysine and its glycosides, in contrast to data reported in the literature.

D009394 Nephritis, Hereditary A group of inherited conditions characterized initially by HEMATURIA and slowly progressing to RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. The most common form is the Alport syndrome (hereditary nephritis with HEARING LOSS) which is caused by mutations in genes for TYPE IV COLLAGEN and defective GLOMERULAR BASEMENT MEMBRANE.

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.

D005922 Glomerulonephritis, IGA A chronic form of glomerulonephritis characterized by deposits of predominantly IMMUNOGLOBULIN A in the mesangial area (GLOMERULAR MESANGIUM).
