Abstract

Four patients with massive obesity and the nephrotic syndrome were studied. Congestive heart failure was not clinically apparent, and measured cardiac output was elevated; however, right atrial pressure and blood volume were increased. In each case the proteinuria decreased during dietary weight loss. Reductions in right atrial pressure and blood volume also coincided with remission in proteinuria. A mesangial glomerulopathy was present in two patients. We propose that the cause of the reversible proteinuria seen in these obese patients was renal venous hypertension.

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.
