Remission induced by renal protective therapy in nephrotic syndrome with thin basement membrane in an older patient: a case report.

This case illustrated the novel outcomes of combining medical treatment without steroid use for nephrotic syndrome with thin glomerular basement membrane disease. At the time of writing this report, the patient's renal function was stable and she was free of edema, although moderate proteinuria and occult hematuria persisted. The final diagnosis was uncertain because of the lack of genetic investigation; however, the response to the aforementioned medical treatment suggests the effectiveness of the supportive therapy.
