Hereditary chronic nephritis in India.
Forty-six patients from 23 Indian families with hereditary chronic nephritis (HCN) with or without Alport's syndrome are presented. The occurrence of this disease in diverse Indian races, communities and castes is now documented. Clinical and laboratory findings in these patients are similar to those reported from temperate regions.
