Özet

Objective: Secondary renal AA amyloidosis (RAAA) presents with proteinuria and/or as nephrotic syndrome and progresses to end stage renal disease (ESRD) insidiously. However, some patients with secondary amyloidosis show a more rapid renal disease progression than the usual course. In this study, we aimed to investigate the underlying cause of the rapidly progressive renal disease in the patients with secondary amyloidosis.
