ABSTRACT
Thin basement membrane nephropathy(TBMN) is defined histologically as follows 1) By light rnicroscopy only minor abnormalities are detected in the glomeruli at most minor mesangial widening. 2) By electron microscopy, diffuse thinning of glomerular basement rnembrane is demonstrated. 3) By immunofluorescence, absence of immunoglobulins and complement components is demonstrated. 4) Alport's syndrome and systemic diseases that may affect the glomerular structure have been excluded. TBMN presented frequently with recurrent or persistent microscopic hematuria. Massive proteinuria such as in nephrotic syndrome rarely occurs in TBMN. We reported two cases of TBMN presented with typical minimal change nephrotic syndrome.
