Alport syndrome is one of the most common inherited kidney diseases worldwide. A genetic test or kidney biopsy is necessary for a definite diagnosis of this disease, and an accurate diagnosis system for this disease is highly desired in each country. However, the current situation in Asian countries is not clear. Therefore, the tubular and inherited disease working group of the Asian Pediatric Nephrology Association (AsPNA) aimed to assess the current situation of diagnosis and treatment for Alport syndrome in Asia.
