摘要
Renal amyloidosis can occur as a primary or secondary, systemic or localized disorder. It is defined as a chronic infiltrative disorder characterized by impaired organ function caused by extracellular insoluble protein fibrils. Although colonic tuberculosis is not uncommon, the occurrence of reactive renal amyloidosis in such patients is not as prevalent. We report a single case of renal amyloidosis in a patient with tuberculosis of the cecum who presented with nephrotic syndrome. Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.
