Key Points

  • To present a case of fibronectin glomerulopathy linked to a genetic mutation and review existing literature.
  • Case report detailing a specific patient with fibronectin glomerulopathy.
  • Literature review on the disease's characteristics and progression.
  • Discussion on genetic testing and treatment approaches.
  • The disease is characterized by fibronectin deposition and progresses to end-stage renal disease.
  • Current treatment options focus on blood pressure and proteinuria management.
  • The overall prognosis for affected individuals is poor.

Abstract

We report a case of a patient with fibronectin glomerulopathy and review the literature of this disease. The disease often has insidious onset, and fibronectin deposition is a typical pathological change that can result. The disease slowly progresses to end-stage renal disease. At present, there is no specific treatment. It is advocated to use reninangiotensin-aldosterone system blockers to strictly control blood pressure and proteinuria, and the overall prognosis is poor. Genetic testing techniques may be helpful in early diagnosis of the disease.
