|
A case of nephrotic syndrome due to AA amyloidosis in a young woman suffering from erythrodermic psoriasis and psoriatic arthropathy is reported. The nephrotic syndrome regressed completely during long-term (57 months) colchicine treatment. There are 39 case reports in the literature of psoriasis associated with amyloidosis. More than 85% of these patients had concomitant arthropathy. This suggests that arthritis may be an important factor in the appearance of amyloidosis. 59% of psoriatics with amyloidosis had renal failure and 56% of them died shortly after diagnosis of amyloidosis. These observations support the view that amyloidosis associated with psoriasis is an aggressive disease that may be fatal. However, the clinical course of our patient suggests that renal amyloidosis associated with psoriasis may be successfully treated by colchicine. |
