Alport syndrome
Error
I was born with autosomal recessive aplorts. Diagnosed when I was 5, lost hearing when I was 6! It took a while for diagnosis because the mutated version I have is unusual in women.
I currently have a eGFR of 25. Looking to transplant in the next two years.
I have never let alports stop me from doing the things I enjoy. Sometimes I just have to find a balance. I have a 12 year old daughter, got an amazing husband and I teach for a living.
Some days are bad. Like today for example. What retention, kidney pain and very tired but I'm still here, I still have my own kidneys and I'm still kicking Alports butt!!
