Abstract:IntroductionAlport syndrome (AS) is one of the most common fatal hereditary renal diseases in human, with a high risk of progressing to end-stage renal disease without effective treatments.

Therefore, we have designed a clinical trial to evaluate the hypothesis that intravenous in… Show more
