Abstract
|
|
|
Benign familial hematuria is a hereditary disease of autosomal dominant which is a menifested by continuous hematuria of unknown origin and normal renal function found in more than two member in a family.
In 1963, Roger et al discovered a familial tendenay in some patients of benign familial hematuria. In 1987, Yoshikawa et al discovered that the glomerular basement membrane is thinner than normal seen by electron microscope of renal biopsy
specimens in
50 children of benign familial hematuria. He reported that hematuria was from the disruption of the glomerular basement membrane.
We are reporting cases of benign familial hematuria experienced in two children of the same family whose renal function was normal and had a continuous hematuria function was normal and had a continuous hematuria for several months. Their renal
biopsy
specimens showed no abnormalities in light microscopy and immunofluorescence microscopy but a specific finding was seen in electron microscopy.
