Overview

Thin basement membrane disease (TBMD) is one of the inherited disorder of kidney affecting glomeruli. It is also known as Thin basement membrane nephropathy (TBMN) or thin membrane nephropathy or thin GBM syndrome or benign familial hematuria or benign familial essential hematuria or congenital hereditary hematuria or hereditary hematuria or familial hematuric nephritis or benign hereditary nephritis. Being the most frequent cause of familial hematuria TBMD is affecting 1% of population.[1] 40% of TBMD is caused by germline mutation in COL4A3, COL4A4 genes, but female carrier with COL4A5 mutation may develop TBMD. [2]

Historical Perspective

Thin basement membrane disease is the most common cause of Persistent recurrent hematuria. A form of Benign hemorrhagic nephritis is first noted in 1926 by Goerge Baehr. ThenPersistent recurrent hematuria is first observed in seven out of eight siblings in a family by Melvin I. Marks and Keith N. Drummond in 1969. P. W. Rogers was the first one to analyse the association between recurrent asymptomatic hematuria and thin glomerular basement membrane in 1973. The association between the COL4A3, COL4A4 and COL4A5 gene mutation in long q arm of chromosome 2 and the recurrence of X-linked and autosomal alport syndrome in several studies conducted in 1990-1994. In 1996, it was demonstrated that the cause of Benign familial hematuria is Mutation in COL4A3 and COL4A4.

Classification

There is no distinctive classification on Thin basement membrane disease.

Pathophysiology

Thin basement membrane disease is usually caused by Heterozygous mutation in COL4A3 and COL4A4 gene in autosomal nonprogressive dominant pattern and heterozygous mutation in COL4A5 gene in X-chromosome may cause Thin basement membrane disease in female.. Alport syndrome, IgA nephropathy are among the most common to have association with Thin basement membrane disease. Gross pathology usually shows no distinctive features although Diffuse thinning of GBM in electron microscopy, Erythrocytes in between renal tubules ad bowman's membrane, Minimal glomerular change or mesangial expansion on light microscopy are seen on microscopic histopathological analysis.

Causes

Thin basement membrane disease is an inherited disorder caused by mutation in COL4A3, COL4A4 and rarely COL4A5 gene mutation. Some form of TBMD are due to 'De novo' mutation.

Differentiating thin basement membrane disease from Other Diseases

As a common cause of several glomerulopathies, Persistent hematuria must be differentiated as benign cause of thin basement membrane disease from other life threatening caueses of glomerular bleeding including Alport syndrome, IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, postinfectious glomerulonephritis.

Epidemiology and Demographics

The incidence of thin basement membrane disease is 1%-2% based on data available in 2006. The prevalence of thin basement membrane disease is 1%.Thin basement membrane disease affects children and adult equally with more predominance in female. According to available data most cases are reported in developed countries specially in Europe where majority of patient are of Caucasians race. Chinese, Indians, Africans are less commonly affected.

Risk Factors

There are no established risk factors for Thin basement membrane disease.

Screening

According to the most physicians, screening for thin basement membrane disease by Renal function test is recommended every 1-2 years among patients with Hypertension, Proteinuria, and Renal impairment.

Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis

TBMD is may developed or found incidentally in first decade of life in symptomatic patient, may present symptoms later in third decade in asymptomatic patient. If left untreated, adult TBMD patients with proteinuria may develop hypertension, renal impairment leading to renal insufficiency. Prognosis is usually good in patient with isolated hematuria in TBMD.
