title: Nephrotic syndrome associated with amyloid-like glomerular deposits.
abstract: An Arab patient with a typical nephrotic syndrome associated with the deposition of an amyloid-like material in the glomeruli is described. The deposits consisted of an electron-dense finely granular material which contained immunoglobulins and complement and fibrillar structures which resembled those of amyloid but did not stain with the typical amyloid stains.
