    Author: Asaba K, Tojo A, Onozato ML, Mimura N, Kido M, Goto A, Endo H, Fujita T.
    Journal: Clin Exp Nephrol; 2003 Dec; 7(4):296-300. PubMed ID: 14712360.
    Abstract:
    A 68-year-old man with a 30-year history of essential thrombocytosis developed nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsy showed massive deposits of Congo red-negative periodic acid Schiff (PAS)-positive substance in the mesangium and capillary wall that was positive for IgG. Electron microscopic examination revealed 10- to 20-nm fibrils in the deposits, and there was no other organ involvement; thus, we diagnosed fibrillary glomerulonephritis. This is the first report of a case of fibrillary glomerulonephritis associated with essential thrombocytosis.
