To study the clinical features, outcome and response to therapy in 29 cases of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with secondary amyloidosis (AA).
Twenty-nine patients with RA and AA who were diagnosed during 11 years.
The mean age and the mean duration of RA were 63 +/- 12 years and 15 +/- 7 years respectively. The most common initial clinical feature was renal involvement (83%). Nineteen patients were treated with methotrexate. The mean survival time was 42 +/- 8 months. Eleven patients (38%) have deceased.
Our data confirms that AA in RA is a serious complication with a bleak prognosis. A normal renal function is a good prognosis indicator.

29例在11年间确诊为RA和AA的患者。
RA的平均年龄和平均病程分别为63±12岁和15±7年。最常见的初始临床特征是肾脏受累(83%)。19例患者接受了甲氨蝶呤治疗。平均生存时间为42±8个月。11例患者(38%)已死亡。
我们的数据证实,RA中的AA是一种预后不佳的严重并发症。肾功能正常是预后良好的指标。
