Alport's Syndrome is the second most common inherited cause of kidney failure. Most people with Alport's Syndrome develop kidney failure in early adult life - usually in their twenties or thirties - but it can develop at a much earlier age. Because of the way in which it's inherited, Alport's is more common among males than females and can lead to deafness and sight problems.

Deborah Fielding, the founder of Action for Alport's Campaign, knows only too well the heartache Alport's Syndrome can bring to the families affected by this rare and potentially fatal genetic disease. Deborah's family have been troubled with kidney disease as far back as she can remember. Deborah herself has seen her father pass away waiting for his second transplant and has borne witness to the doctor diagnosing her son Oscar with the same genetic kidney disorder.

"Working with Kidney Research UK, the Action for Alport's Campaign looks to break through this rare kidney disease by conducting dynamic research to control its effects to banish it to the wilderness where it belongs. Through research, we can look to find a cure and help future generations by making Alport's a thing of the past. At the moment, there is no current dedicated funding for any research into Alport's Syndrome - a disease that affects many families across the UK, including my own."
