Özet

Introduction. Amyloid A amyloidosis is most commonly caused by familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in Turkey. Amyloidosis secondary to FMF is an important cause of end-stage renal failure, and kidney transplantation (KT) in these cases can be complicated, with long-term results oftentimes inferior compared with organ transplant in patients without FMF. The present study aims to show the long-term results of patients with secondary amyloidosis caused by FMF undergoing KT.
