Abstract |
Secondary amyloidosis results from the deposition of abnormally folded proteins in body organs due to chronic inflammatory disorders. Kidneys are the most commonly affected organ and manifest as nephrotic syndrome with or without renal failure. Chronic pulmonary aspergillosis (CPA) is a chronic infection of lung parenchyma affecting those with an underlying structural lung disease. Herein, we present a case of CPA where the initial manifestation was that of nephrotic syndrome due to renal amyloidosis. We also perform a systematic review for studies describing secondary amyloidosis due to CPA.
