  • Title: Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis with renal amyloidosis: a 23-year survival.
    Author: Cusano AJ, Bland JH, Lapenas DJ, Cohen AS, Libbey C.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1982; 9(6):921-5. PubMed ID: 7161782.
    Abstract:
    A 14-year-old girl with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis developed severe renal amyloidosis and presented with nephrosis and renal failure. Renal function returned to normal in a year and over 23 years, serial biopsies showed remarkable, biopsy-proven regression of amyloid deposits. Amyloid was not found in skin, gum or rectal biopsies. This case demonstrates an improved prognosis and apparent reversibility.
