We report a case of amyloidosis associated with K light chain multiple myeloma in a 42-year-old African American man. The patient initially had mild dyspepsia, which rapidly progressed to include anorexia, fulminant hepatic failure, and death within 9 weeks. This is only the fourth reported case of hepatic failure from myeloma-associated amyloidosis and the second reported case of light chain myeloma with amyloidosis resulting in a progressive clinical course of hepatic failure. Our patient was unique in that, despite severe disease, he had mild symptoms without laboratory abnormalities until 2 weeks prior to death. |
