Obstructive nephropathy secondary to AA-type amyloidosis in ankylosing spondylitis.
AA-type amyloidosis of the genitourinary tract is a rare phenomenon and few cases are described in the literature. We report a 42-year-old man with ankylosing spondylitis, who developed hematuria, bilateral hydronephrosis, and renal failure caused by AA amyloidosis.
