[Hereditary nephritis with bearing loss of the receiver type (Alport's syndrome) with a description of 2 cases].

A familial predisposed diffuse nephropathy is described in three adult patients--brothers, combined with hearing abatement--receiver type--in two of them. Typical gout was also found in them, that is difficult to associate with the azotemia. It was admitted that it concerns the Alport syndrome in adults, developing with certain peculiarities, advanced patient age, disturbances of purine metabolism, moderately selective proteinuria of glomercultubular type and chromosome aberration--thresomia of F chromosome.
