title: Thin basement membranes syndrome: a rare cause of erythrocyturia.
abstract: The results of the studies in five children with the syndrome of thin basement membranes have been discussed. A comparison of clinical data with the morphological ones shows that recognition of erythrocyturia or hematuria necessitates familial examinations and long-term follow-up. Final diagnosis of this syndrome may be made only by means of electron microscopy.
