ALPORT SYNDROME TREATMENT THROUGH HOMEOPATHY

Alport syndrome is a condition where kidney is inflamed due to the damage in the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys. It is inherited disorder caused due to the defect in mutation of a gene for a protein in the connective tissue, called collagen. Alport syndrome is a rare disorder.

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS:

• Blood in the urine (which can be worsened by upper respiratory infections or exercise)
• Flank pain
• High blood pressure
• Swelling throughout the body
• EARS: Hearing loss.
• EYES:
  • Abnormal shape of the lens,
  • Corneal erosion in which there is loss of the outer layer of the covering of the eyeball, leading to pain, itching, or redness of the eye, or blurred vision,
  • Abnormal coloring of the retina, a condition called dot-and-fleck retinopathy. It doesn't cause vision problems, but can help diagnose Alport syndrome,
  • Macular hole in which there is thinning or a break in the macula. The macula is a part of the retina that makes central vision sharper and more detailed. A macular hole causes blurred or distorted central vision.

TREATMENT: Alport syndrome cannot be cured but can be managed well by homoeopathic treatment. Homoeopathic treatment requires a deep constitutional analysis. The history of the disease, the family medical history, physical and mental characteristics of the patient, the likes and dislikes, medication details are all taken into consideration. This approach stands in consonance with the homoeopathic convention: Well selected Homoeopathic remedies are effective for Alport syndrome.
