  • Title: Incidence of renal amyloidosis in pulmonary tuberculosis.
    Author: Nik-Akhtar B, Khorsandi H, Nejatbakhsh A.
    Journal: J Trop Med Hyg; 1977 Jul; 80(7):147-8. PubMed ID: 592458.
    Abstract:
    Incidences of renal amyloidosis were studied in patients who were in various stages of pulmonary tuberculosis and a three year follow-up gave some opportunity to study the effectiveness of anti-tuberculosis treatment on the course of renal amyloidosis. It was concluded that 9 to 11 per cent of all patients with pulmonary tuberculosis will eventually develop proteinuria due to renal amyloidosis after a certain period of time. It has been postulated that once amyloidosis has extensively involved the kidneys, anti-tuberculous treatment will not cause any regression in the course of renal amyloidosis.
