Comment:

The histopathological features of the kidney in cases of acquired LCAT deficiency are similar to those in congenital LCAT deficiency, except that membranous nephropathy is also found, which is not generally observed in cases of congenital LCAT deficiency (PMID:24174160). Renal pathology in FLD is not only characterized by glomerular changes, but also by profound tubular changes (PMID:23412821).
