Hello,
Thin wall kidney means thin basement membrane in which the glomerular basement wall appears thinner. Usually the disease is diagnosed when a small amount of blood  is found looking at a urine sample under a microscope.

In most cases it is not treated. Most people with the disease maintain normal kidney function.

I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
