Familial renal amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis primarily presenting in the kidney.[1]
It is associated most commonly with congenital mutations in the fibrinogen alpha chain and classified as a dysfibrinogenemia (see Hereditary Fibrinogen Aα-Chain Amyloidosis).[2][3] and, less commonly, with congenital mutations in apolipoprotein A1[4] and lysozyme.[5][6]
It is also known as "Ostertag" type, after B. Ostertag, who characterized it in 1932 and 1950.[7][8]
