Condition: Alport Syndrome · Hereditary Kidney Disease · Pediatric Kidney Disease · Sponsor: University Hospital Goettingen
The hereditary type IV collagen disease Alport syndrome leads to kidney failure early in life. Currently there are no specific medications approved for treatment, however, several therapies have been evaluated preclinically and could improve outcome. For that reason, this non-interventional, observational study investigates, if medications (1) delay disease progression; (2) delay time to kidney failure; (3) improve life-expectancy compared to untreated patients (relatives). This observational study started in 2006 as an European registry. Since 2019, this registry has been expanded to "Alport XXL" via the International Alport Alliance as a global effort across all continents. From 2020 on to present, "Alport XXL" has a special focus on the outcomes of early therapy in young patients on ACE-inhibitors vs. Angiotensin-receptor blockers vs. their combination.
