Overview

If renal amyloidosis left untreated it usually manifests as nephrotic range proteinuria and then progresses to acute kidney injury and then end stage renal disease.^[1]

Common complications of renal amyloidosis include:^[2]^[3]
- Proteinuria (32%)
- Nephrotic syndrome (40%)
- Chronic renal failure (28%)
- Hypoalbuminemia

After a few years, renal amyloidosis eventually leads to end stage renal disease and it may be accelerated by some factors such as:^[4]
- Steroids
- Renal vein thrombosis
- Infections
- Surgery
