title: Renal amyloid A amyloidosis as a complication of hidradenitis suppurativa.
abstract: Rheumatic disease is the dominant cause of amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis, but other chronic inflammatory diseases may have similar consequences. Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a relatively common, but little known skin disease characterized by chronic inflammation. Here we present a case of chronic HS leading to biopsy-verified severe renal AA amyloidosis and dialysis dependency.
