Alport syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disease affecting type four collagen production, causing renal, auditory, and ophthalmic manifestations. This case report is about a 32-year-old male who was a known case of renal insufficiency and secondary hypertension and was referred to the ophthalmology department due to blurred vision. Based on the patient‘s history and ophthalmological findings, AS was diagnosed. Ophthalmic examination showed anterior lenticonus associated with sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and impaired renal function. This clinical case report sheds light on the role of ophthalmology in diagnosing AS.

In Pregnancy

Liddle syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that causes hypertension and hypokalemia due to a gain-of-function mutation in the SCNN1B or SCNN1G genes which code for the epithelial sodium channel in the kidney. This leads to increased sodium and water reabsorption causing hypertension. We report a case of a 27-year-old pregnant woman who was admitted for hypertension and hypokalemia and later diagnosed and treated for Liddle syndrome using amiloride. Maintaining a high suspicion of Liddle syndrome in pregnancy is essential in such cases to be able to adequately and effectively treat the hypertension. Due to physiological effects of pregnancy, the dose of amiloride may need to be increased as gestational age progresses up to a maximum dose of 30 mg orally per day.

Background. Renovascular hypertension (RVH) is an elevated blood pressure caused by partial or complete occlusion of one or both renal arteries or their branches. According to different studies, renal artery stenosis accounts for 5–10% of all cases of hypertension in children. The most common causes of renal artery stenosis are deemed to be atherosclerosis and fibromuscular dysplasia.Case description. The article describes clinical case of a newly diagnosed renovascular hypertension amid background of fibromuscular dysplasia of renal arteries in a 6-year old child, particulars of the clinical course, laboratory and instrumental methods of investigation and treatment including aortography and balloon angioplasty of renal arteries.Conclusion. This case report illustrates that in the absence of complaints and pronounced clinical symptoms the diagnosis of renovascular hypertension in a 6-year old child could not be established for a long time. Timely detection of elevated BP in children, including the young ones, not only during visiting specialist physicians but also during prophylactic examination by pediatrician, is required for early diagnosis of the disease and development of the examination and treatment strategy.
