Clinical and morphological aspects of thin glomerular basement membrane disease.

The report presents the results of investigations carried out in 63 patients (49 children and 14 adults) with thin glomerular basement membrane disease. Of 49 children, 13 came from nine families with family members suffering from kidney diseases (mostly manifested by haematuria).
