Article Synopsis
- The study examined clinical and pathological features in 186 Chinese patients with renal immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis (AL) over 21 years.
- The researchers found that the amount of amyloid deposits in the kidneys correlated with proteinuria levels and renal insufficiency, with certain patterns linked to heart and liver involvement.
- The findings highlighted differences between AL-κ and AL-λ types and established that a higher renal amyloid load increases the risk of overall mortality.
