Haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis

Haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis is a form of systemic amyloidosis associated with chronic kidney failure. Amyloidosis is the accumulation of misfolded protein fibers in the body that can be associated with many chronic illnesses. Even though amyloidosis is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients receiving chronic regular dialysis, it has also been reported in a patient with chronic kidney failure but who never received dialysis.
