AI Article Synopsis
- * A case report from Japan reveals that clinical remission of systemic AA amyloidosis occurred after the patient underwent nephrectomy.
- * This case highlights the need for clinicians to recognize the unusual combination of conditions and to check for amyloid deposits in patients with XGP.
Article Abstract
The combination of systemic amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis and xanthogranulomatous pyelonephritis (XGP) resulting from a chronic urinary tract infection is extremely rare. We herein report a case of systemic AA amyloidosis secondary to XGP for which clinical remission developed after nephrectomy. To our knowledge, this is the first case report describing the clinical improvement of systemic AA amyloidosis secondary to XGP after nephrectomy in Japan. Clinicians should be aware of this uncommon combination and search for amyloid depositions in cases of XGP.
