Amyloid A Amyloidosis Secondary to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Amyloids are insoluble fibrous protein aggregates sharing specific structural traits. Abnormal accumulation of amyloid in organs may lead to amyloidosis, and may play a role in various diseases. The name amyloid comes from the early mistaken identification of the substance as starch (amylum in Latin), based on crude iodine-staining techniques. For a period, it was debated whether or not amyloid...
متن کاملMalabsorption Secondary to Gout-Induced Amyloidosis
Many chronic inflammatory conditions can lead to systemic amyloidosis. However, secondary amyloidosis has rarely been associated with gout, and the literature reports only a handful of cases, all presenting with renal disease. We report a patient with a history of poorly controlled gout who presented with malabsorption. Endoscopic biopsies confirmed a diagnosis of small intestinal amyloidosis. ...
متن کاملRenal amyloidosis secondary to hidradenitis suppurativa
Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), also known as Verneuil’s disease [1] or acne inversa, is characterized by hyperkeratosis of the follicular epithelium, resulting in obstruction of the follicular stoma and chronic perifollicular inflammation with remissions and relapses, usually involving skin overlying the axillary, inguinal, perianal, perineal and inframammarian regions. It usually presents in t...
متن کاملBladder Perforation Secondary to Primary Systemic Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a disorder of protein folding characterized by extracellular aggregation and deposition of amyloid protein fibrils. Light-chain amyloidosis, also known as primary systemic amyloidosis, is the most common form of the disease. We present a case of an 84-year-old male with a history of systemic primary amyloidosis causing genitourinary, cardiac, and autonomic dysfunction who present...
متن کاملDuodenal amyloidosis secondary to ulcerative colitis
Amyloidosis is defined as the extracellular deposition of non-branching fibrils composed of a variety of serum-protein precursors. Secondary amyloidosis is associated with several chronic inflammatory conditions, such as rheumatologic or intestinal diseases, familial Mediterranean fever, or chronic infectious diseases, such as tuberculosis. Although the association of amyloidosis with inflammat...
