  • Title: [Secondary amyloidosis complicating ulcerative colitis].
    Author: Basili E, Cazo M, Laugier R.
    Journal: Gastroenterol Clin Biol; 2002 May; 26(5):529-31. PubMed ID: 12122369.
    Abstract:
    We report a case of amyloidosis secondary to ulcerative colitis. A 33-year-old man with total ulcerative colitis was treated by proctocolectomy 3 years and 5 months after the onset of the disease. One year later, a nephrotic syndrome revealed a secondary amyloidosis that led to end-stage renal failure 14 years later. Colectomy could have delayed renal failure. During the 27-year time of follow-up, ulcerative colitis was the only detected disease possibly responsible for secondary amyloidosis.
