  • Title: Renal amyloid A amyloidosis as a complication of hidradenitis suppurativa.
    Author: Schandorff KD, Miller IM, Krustrup D, Jemec GB, Marckmann P.
    Journal: Clin Nephrol; 2016 Jul; 86(1):51-4. PubMed ID: 27340120.
    Abstract:
    Rheumatic disease is the dominant cause of amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, but other chronic inflammatory diseases may have similar consequences. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a relatively common, but little known skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation. Here we present a case of chronic HS leading to biopsy-verified severe renal AA amyloidosis and dialysis dependency.
