Serum lipids were estimated in patients with renal amyloidosis (RA): 21 with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and 24 with secondary renal amyloidosis versus FMF patients without renal dysfunction or having chronic glomerular nephritis. All the RA patients had dyslipidemia of atherogenic nature the severity of which correlated with that of renal disorder. Our results showed the presence of dyslipidemia early during RA course. It is renal involvement that results in dyslipidemia observed in FMF patients.
