title: [Amyloidosis in the autopsy data from a general hospital of Leningrad].
abstract: Over the recent 20 years the incidence of amyloidosis did not undergo any noticeable changes, accounting for 1.48% of the total number of autopsies in 1964-1968 and for 1.52% in 1984-1988 (P less than 0.5). The number of cases of the clinically unrecognized amyloidosis increased from 37.5% in the first period to 52.18% in the second one. In most cases amyloidosis affects the kidneys (94.9%), spleen (58.2%), liver (48%) and then, in the descending order, there follow adrenals, intestine, heart, pancreas and other organs (the total data for both the periods).
