Renal Review

Parents bring their 5-year-old son in because they noticed blood in his urine without history of trauma or infection. He is also deaf. The parents say that several other members in the family have this disease too, but they forget what it's called.

Challenge: What is it called?

This is Alport’s hereditary nephritis, and can also present with ocular abnormalities.
