- A total of 174 patients were analyzed, revealing that familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) was the leading cause of AA amyloidosis, with a significant portion carrying the p.M694V genetic variant.
- The study found that kidney function at admission strongly predicted disease progression and mortality rates increased with more severe organ involvement, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to manage the disease effectively.
