This study result might suggest that the system is underdeveloped enough to diagnose all Alport syndrome patients in most Asian countries. However, once diagnosed with Alport syndrome, most of them were treated with RAS inhibitors. These survey results can be used to address knowledge, diagnostic system, and treatment strategy gaps and improve the Alport patients' outcomes in Asian countries.
