  • Title: Idiopathic localised bladder amyloidosis: rare cause of haematuria.
    Author: Ng CS, Wan S, Yim AP, Vale J.
    Journal: Int Urol Nephrol; 2002; 34(1):55-8. PubMed ID: 12549640.
    Abstract:
    Idiopathic Localised Bladder Amyloidosis is a rare cause of haematuria and urinary tract symptoms. A review of the literature highlights the varied presentations and the appropriate investigations for this condition, with emphasise on the exclusion of a secondary cause. In addition, the range of treatment options is fully discussed. Our report on a 65-year old gentleman illustrates that a high index of suspicion is required for its diagnosis. Furthermore, conservative management can be an effective strategy in selected patients.
