The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) in the treatment of Alport syndrome (AS) in a randomized, single-blind, placebo-controlled trial, to provide a clinical basis for the development of stem cell products for the treatment of AS, and to further clarify the therapeutic effect of hUC-MSC in the treatment of AS.

This group of patients received a total of 2 peripheral intravenous Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) infusions during the treatment period on the basis of conventional symptomatic and supportive treatment. The interval between the two infusions was 14 days, and the single infusion dose was approximately 2×1000,000 cells/Kg. Conventional clinical treatment refers to symptomatic treatment with ACEI and ARB drugs.
This group of patients received a total of 2 intravenous infusions of normal saline (the same volume, specifications and batches used in the experimental group) as a placebo control during the treatment period on the basis of conventional symptomatic and supportive treatment. The interval between the two infusions was 14 days. Conventional clinical treatment refers to symptomatic treatment with ACEI and ARB drugs.
Urine protein remission rate
Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, and 12 months after the last hUC-MSC infusion. Urinalysis, 24-hour urine protein quantification, and urine protein/creatinine ratio were tested to evaluate the remission of urine protein after treatment.
Time frame: 2 weeks to 12 months after treatment
Hematuria remission rate
Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, and 12 months after the last hUC-MSC infusion. The urine abnormal red blood cell count of the children was tested to evaluate the remission of hematuria after treatment.
Time frame: 2 weeks to 12 months after treatment
Renal function improvement rate
Follow-up was performed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, 4 months, 5 months, 6 months, 8 months, 10 months, and 12 months after the last hUCMSC infusion to measure the serum creatinine, blood urea nitrogen, serum cystatin C, glomerular filtration rate and other indicators of the children to evaluate the improvement of renal function after treatment.
Time frame: 2 weeks to 12 months after treatment
