Abstract
- Thin basement membrane disease is defined as diffuse thinning of the glomerular basement membrane, and is clinically characterized by persistent hematuria, minimal proteinuria, normal renal function, and a benign course. It can occur together with other glomerular diseases. We experienced a case of thin basement membrane disease concurrent with minimal-change disease. Treatment with corticosteroid resulted in improved proteinuria and peripheral edema during the follow-up period.
