Abstract | Various types of systemic amyloidosis can wreak havoc on the architecture and functioning of the kidneys. Amyloidosis should be suspected in patients with worsening kidney function, proteinuria, and multisystem involvement, but isolated kidney involvement also is possible. Confirming the amyloidosis type and specific organ dysfunction is of paramount importance to select the appropriately tailored treatment and aim for better survival while avoiding treatment-associated toxicities. Amyloid renal staging in light chain amyloidosis amyloidosis helps inform prognosis and risk for end-stage kidney disease. Biomarker-based staging systems and response assessment guide the therapeutic strategy and allow the timely identification of refractory or relapsing disease so that patients can be switched to salvage therapy. Kidney transplantation is a viable option for selected patients with amyloidosis. Because of the complex nature of the pathophysiology and treatment of amyloidosis, a multidisciplinary team-based approach should be used in the care of these patients. |
