  • Title: Resolution of renal amyloidosis.
    Author: Dikman SH, Kahn T, Gribetz D, Churg J.
    Journal: Am J Med; 1977 Sep; 63(3):430-3. PubMed ID: 900147.
    Abstract:
    A patient with renal amyloidosis and the nephrotic syndrome consequent to extensive infected burns demonstrated both clinical resolution of the nephrotic syndrome and morphologic regression of the renal amyloid deposits over a six year period. The regression of the amyloid deposits was associated with several changes in the glomerular capillary wall resulting in a double capillary wall contour. This case indicates that deposits of amyloid in the kidney may regress and suggests a sequence of events in this resolution.
