Fibronectin glomerulopathy caused by genetic FN1 mutation: A case report and literature review

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.

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.
