Abstract
Gross hematuria caused by nephroptosis is difficult to treat and sometimes requires surgical treatment. We experienced a case of a 64-year-old woman with gross hematuria due to nephroptosis and glomerular thin basement membrane that showed remission of hematuria with the blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor and spironolactone.
