OBJECTIVE: Amyloidosis is a chronic disease associated with proteinuria and can progress to renal failure. The diagnosis and treatment of the underlying cause is therefore important. In this study at a university hospital, the diagnosis of amyloidosis patients with renal biopsies was evaluated retrospectively.
