| Abstract;Lipoprotein glomerulopathy (LPG) is a disease characterized by intraglomerular lipoprotein thrombi and type III hyperlipidemia. LPG is associated with the mutation of the apolipoprotein E (Apo E) gene, however, the family members carrying the mutations are not always affected with LPG. We report a six-year-old girl with LPG, who had mild proteinuria and microscopic hematuria since three years of age. She had the R145P mutation of the Apo E gene (Apo E Sendai). Her father and younger sister were also heterozygous for the mutation. Her father showed normal renal function and urinalysis, but her sister had a history of transient proteinuria. Following the asymtomatic heterozygotes would provide us with information on the relationship between LPG and Apo E mutations. (author abst.) |
