Asymptomatic patient: Incidental finding of lipoprotein glomerulopathy with ApoE Kyoto mutation

Abstract

Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is an unusual kidney disease with clinical presentation of proteinuria and renal insuffciency. The diagnosis is based on histological examination, featuring lipoprotein thrombi in glomerular capillaries. We present here an unusual case of lipoprotein glomerulopathy detected during pre-employment checkup. Histopathology examination confirmed the diagnosis, and subsequent genetic test revealed ApoE Kyoto mutation.
