Abstract

The course of uraemia in 47 patients with renal amyloidosis has been studied. The median survival with a S-creatinine of 150 μmol/l was approximately 18 months, but 15% survived for more than 3 years. Deterioration arose often suddenly and was of unclear cause. Approximately 25% of the patients improved for a while and the reason for this temporary improvement is also unclear. The unsteady course during the uraemia period for amyloidosis patients makes prognosis calculations very much less accurate than for patients with cystic kidneys.
