متن کاملLipoprotein autoantibodies: measurement and significance.
Two decades ago, well before the inflammatory nature of arteriosclerosis was generally accepted, several groups reported the finding of immunoglobulins and various complement components in atheromatous plaques of humans and rabbits (12, 42, 69). A decade later apolipoprotein B (ApoB) extracted from atheromatous lesions was found to react with monoclonal antibodies against malondialdehyde (MDA)a...
متن کاملLipoprotein glomerulopathy treated with LDL-apheresis (Heparin-induced Extracorporeal Lipoprotein Precipitation system): a case report
INTRODUCTION Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is a glomerulonephritis which was described for the first time by Saito in 1989 and is currently acknowledged as a separate nosological entity. It is histologically characterized by a marked dilatation of the glomerular capillaries and the presence of lipoprotein thrombi in the glomerular lumens. The dyslipidemic profile is similar to that of type III dys...
متن کاملA rare cause of nephrotic syndrome: lipoprotein glomerulopathy.
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is a rare kidney disease in which lipoprotein thrombi are seen in the glomerular capillaries. Most of these patients are found in Japan and East Asian countries. The presenting symptoms include proteinuria, an abnormal plasma lipoprotein profile that resembles type III hyperlipoproteinaemia, and a marked increase in serum apolipoprotein E concentration. Previous studi...
متن کاملMacrophage Infiltration into the Glomeruli in Lipoprotein Glomerulopathy
Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is characterized by histopathological features showing intra-glomerular lipoprotein thrombi and type III hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP), with heterozygote mutation of apolipoprotein (apo) E gene. On the other hand, as another renal lipidosis with type III HLP, apoE2 homozygote-related glomerulopathy (apoE2-GN) showing foamy macrophages has been reported. The case of...
