About this study

Official title: Therapeutic Effect of Immunoadsorption for Patients With Lipoprotein

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of immunoadsorption in the treatment of lipoprotein glomerulopathy.

Read the detailed description

Lipoprotein glomerulopathy is characterized by nephritic syndrome glomerular protein thrombi and lipid abnormalities, particularly with an elevated level of plasma apoprotein E (apoE).There are no efficiency way to treat lipoprotein glomerulopathy. We firstly successfully treat 2 patients by protein A immunoadsorption with remarkable decreased urine protein and reduction of lipoprotein thrombi on repeated renal biopsy.
