I had Bright’s disease in kindergarten I wonder if it’s related to Alport's syndrome. I was diagnosed with Lupus in 2000. It’s been in remission but I do have some tiny bit of blood in urine. I hope you feel better.

@user_ch245cc7a, in
Glomerulonephritis (GN) used to be called Bright's disease and is sometimes referred to as nephritis. Alport syndrome is a disease that damages the tiny blood vessels in your kidneys. Alport syndrome causes damage to your kidneys by attacking the glomeruli.

Have you received a further diagnosis of Alport's syndrome?
