  • Title: Renal involvement in systemic amyloidosis.
    Author: Browning M, Banks R, Tribe C, Bacon P, Hollingworth P, Kingswood C, Poulding J, Harrison P, Mackenzie JC.
    Journal: Proc Eur Dial Transplant Assoc; 1983; 20():595-602. PubMed ID: 6657678.
    Abstract:
    In a study of 124 patients with systemic amyloidosis, renal involvement was the major presenting feature in 68 per cent of patients with AA and 42 per cent with AL disease. Renal failure contributed to the deaths of 72 per cent and 33 per cent of patients respectively. In 23 renal biopsies from patients with AA disease, quantitative glomerular amyloid infiltration correlated with urinary protein excretion and with serum creatinine. Seven of these patients had repeat biopsies; change in glomerular amyloid correlated with changes in both renal function and proteinuria. Four patients with end-stage renal amyloidosis have been successfully managed on CAPD for 37 patient months.
