A newborn infant with lipoprotein glomerulopathy associated with congenital nephrotic syndrome
Open accessAbstract
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is considered to result from the formation of thrombi of abnormal lipoproteins in the glomeruli.[1][2][3][4] The etiology of the disease remains unknown, although apolipoprotein may have a role.[5][6][7] The disease has been reported almost exclusively in adults in Japan.1,2 In the current report, we present a neonatal case of LPG manifested with a congenital nephrotic syndrome.To our knowledge, this is the youngest reported case of this disease.8,9

Lipoprotein glomerulopathy has a wide age distribution, occurring in patients aged 4-69 years, with recent cases also reported in newborns and people in their seventies.
“LPG has a wide range of age distribution, and occurs in all patients aged 4–69 years old. However, recent cases have also been reported in newborn baby and people in their seventies [28].”

The Abstract and Conclusions report a neonatal case of lipoprotein glomerulopathy, supporting the newborn portion of the claim. Our copy does not give a 4–69-year age range or report cases in people in their seventies (searched for the age range and older patients). (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
