Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy Association With Low Cholesterol Levels: A Case Report in a Patient Taking PCSK9 Inhibitor
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A 57-year-old woman with history of prediabetes and dyslipidemia treated with PCSK9 inhibitors due to statin intolerance presented to the clinic with complaints of bilateral thigh pain, weakness and numbness. During the physical exam, the patient exhibited stocking loss of vibratory and cold temperature sensation in both legs, absent ankle reflexes and tandem imbalance with normal cranial nerve functions. After all the clinical studies, the patient was diagnosed with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) as an exclusion diagnosis. A link with medications (Praluent) was determined to be the most possible offending agent. With this case, we present a rare case of CIDP in the setting of low level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) due to PCSK9 inhibitors. This case opens the door to a new and unrecognized adverse effect of this type of medication. J Neurol Res. 2019;9(4-5):72-74 doi: https://doi.org/10.14740/jnr552

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
