AbstractGlomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits (GFND) is a rare hereditary kidney disease with autosomal dominant inheritance. A 21-year-old woman who had been diagnosed with GFND 10 years ago was admitted for investigation of a rapid decline in her renal function, hemolytic anemia, and cardiac dysfunction. A renal biopsy showed GFND accompanied by extraglomerular vascular lesions. Comprehensive treatments against hypertension and anemia improved the renal function. Although there have been few reports of vascular lesions in GFND, we suspect that endothelial hyperpermeability resulting from hypertension caused the fibronectin deposition and narrowing of the extraglomerular vascular lumens, thereby accelerating hypertension and inducing hemolytic anemia.
