Familial renal amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis primarily presenting in the kidney. [1]
It is associated most commonly with congenital mutations in the fibrinogen alpha chain and classified as a dysfibrinogenemia (see Hereditary Fibrinogen Aα-Chain Amyloidosis). [2] [3] and, less commonly, with congenital mutations in apolipoprotein A1 [4] and lysozyme. [5] [6]
It is also known as "Ostertag" type, after B. Ostertag, who characterized it in 1932 and 1950. [7] [8]
