title: Renal tubular acidosis after prolonged remission of nephrotic syndrome in amyloidosis associated with astrocytoma.
abstract: We have described a patient with cerebral astrocytoma in whom generalized AA amyloidosis developed during the 19-year course of his disease. The accompanying nephrotic syndrome was remarkable for an 11 1/2-year remission, and the appearance of type 4 renal tubular acidosis upon its recurrence.
