    Abstract:
    Nephrotic syndrome due to secondary amyloidosis is not so common, and the prognosis depends on primary disease. We report a case of secondary amyloidosis caused by Takayasu's arteritis. Sustained high fever and acute renal failure proceeded to the occurrence of nephrotic syndrome. Secondary amyloidosis was diagnosed by renal biopsy before the diagnosis of primary disease. She was completely recovered from nephrotic syndrome after two years' treatment with prednisolone, aspirin, and dimethyl sulfoxide. This rare case provides meaningful suggestions for the diagnosis and treatment of acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome caused by secondary amyloidosis.
