Here, we reported a spontaneous case of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis observed in a young ICR mouse. A 5-week-old female mouse was euthanized owing to abdominal swelling and increased body weight. At necropsy, generalized subcutaneous edema, and clear, colorless, non-viscous ascites were observed. Histologically, the kidneys showed diffuse, bilateral glomerular lesions. The lesions were characterized by thickening and double contour of the basement membrane and an increase in mesangial cells and matrix, resulting in the narrowing of the capillary lumen. Additionally, eosinophilic hyaloid material accumulated in the subendothelial areas and Bowman’s space. The material was positive for periodic acid-Schiff, complement component C3, or immunoglobulin G, stained red by Masson’s trichrome, and stained blue by phosphotungstic acid-hematoxylin stain and was considered to be plasma due to glomerular leakage. The glomerular lesion was diagnosed as membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, and an uncertain endothelial injury was suspected as the cause.
