title: [Systemic amyloidosis with renal involvement].

It is usually manifested by defects of the renale, cardiovascular or peripheral nervous system. Heterogenicity of clinical and histological classification of amyloidosis and clinical course in comparison with autopsy findings are presented by two cases of general amyloidosis--secondary amyloidosis of the kidneys and primary amyloidosis with a fatal prognosis.
