A Rare Case of Lipoprotein Glomerulopathy in a White Man: An Emerging Entity in Asia, Rare in the White Population
Abstract
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is a rare entity that predominantly affects the Asian population, mainly the Japanese and Chinese. Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is clinically characterized by proteinuria and progression to renal failure and is caused by glomerular lipoprotein thrombi formation in association with increased levels of serum apolipoprotein E. The disease has a male predominance and can affect virtually any age group. We describe the third reported case, to our knowledge, of lipoprotein glomerulopathy to affect a white patient.

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.
