| Popis: | Renal secondary amyloidosis complicates the evolution of several chronic rheumatic diseases, especially rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis [1,2]. The association of amyloid deposits and Still’s disease is rather unusual [3‐5] and should be considered a serious complication [6 ]. Amyloid may involve all structures of the kidney, but the glomeruli are often predominantly aected. However, in occasional cases the small arterioles are the only structure involved. Such deposits in intrarenal blood vessels have been described in primary amyloidosis, but rarely in the secondary forms [7]. We report a case of secondary renal amyloidosis in adult Still’s disease, with predominant vascular deposits, manifested by moderate chronic renal failure without proteinuria. |
