[Embolization of the renal arteries or "medical nephrectomy" in amyloidosis nephrotic syndromes. 2 cases (author's transl)].
Some nephrotic syndroms have a very poor prognosis (life threatening) because of the protidic loss, even if the renal fonction is still normal. Only a binephrectomy can prevent this true protidic diabetes. In order, to avoid the inconvenients of surgery which can be a major problem with patients having cicatrization difficulties, a bilateral embolization of the renal arteries was done. This procedure was successfully used in two patients with nephroctic syndrom secondary to a renal amyloïdosis, who where in a cachectic state.
