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.
