Brief Answer:
Supportive care

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. I believe your doctor meant benign familial hematuria or thin basement membrane disease. Both are benign and nothing to worry about. Just reassurance is needed . Some times medications like ACE inhibitors help to reduce hematuria and efforts to control metabolic issues like hypercalciuria or uricosuria under control helps .

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
