[Renal amyloidoses in nephrology].

The purpose of this study was to investigate the epidemiological, evolutionary and clinical features of the renal amyloidosis and to identify poor prognostic factors. We conducted a retrospective study focusing on all patients hospitalized for renal amyloidosis between January 2013 and December 2014. The diagnosis was confirmed by renal puncture-biopsy or by biopsy of minor salivary glands.
