Overview
Historical Perspective
- In 1639, Nicolaus Fontanus autopsied a young man who had ascitis, jaundice, liver abscess and splenomegaly and his report has been the first description of amyloidosis.[1]
- In 1854, Rudolph Virchow introduced the term of amyloid as an macroscopic abnormality in some tissues.[2]
- In 1969, Finnish-type familial amyloidosis (FAF) was first described as one of the causes of renal amyloidosis.[3]
Classification
Renal amyloidosis may be classified according to site of amyloid deposition into 3 subtypes:[4]
- Glomerular amyloid deposition (more common and have a poorer prognosis)
- Vascular amyloid deposition
- Tubular amyloid deposition
Renal amyloidosis may be classified according to type of amyloidogenic protein into 3 subtypes:[5]
| Amyloidosis type | Amyloidogenic protein | |
|---|---|---|
| Common types | AL/AHL/AH
(Primary amyloidosis) |
Ig light chains (AL) |
| Fragments of Ig heavy chains and light chains (AHL) | ||
| Fragments of heavy chains only (AH) | ||
| AA
(Secondary amyloidosis) |
Serum amyloid A | |
| Rare types | AFib | Fibrinogen A α chain |
| AApo AI/AII/AIV | Apo AI, Apo AII, or Apo AIV | |
| ATTR | Transthyretin | |
| ALys | Lysozyme | |
| AGel | Gelsolin | |
| ALECT2 | Leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 |
Pathophysiology
Pathogenesis
- In systemic amyloidosis (AL/AH/AHL is much more common than AA) kidney is the most frequently involved organ.[5]
- In renal amyloidosis, the mechanisms of amyloidogenesis may include:[6]
- Abnormal protein production
- Overproduction wild-type proteins
- Decreased excretion of wild-type proteins
- Hereditary mutation
- In multiple myeloma, the cast nephropathy in distal tubules of nephrons results in renal impairment and deposition of AL amyloid protein in glomeruli can cause massive fibrillar involvement.[7]
Microscopic Pathology
Microscopic Pathology of all types of amyloid after Congo red dye staining include: [6]
- Orange-red appearance by normal light microscopy
- Apple-green birefringence upon polarized light
