Urethral amyloidosis is a rare condition that can cause hematuria and urinary obstruction symptoms. While there is no established association between immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy and secondary amyloidosis, which is typically found in chronic inflammatory conditions, it is hypothesized that IgA nephropathy may be a systemic condition with inflammatory mediators. We present a case of urethral amyloidosis in a patient with IgA nephropathy who previously received a renal transplant.
尿道淀粉样变性是一种罕见的疾病,可导致血尿和尿路梗阻症状。虽然免疫球蛋白A(IgA)肾病与继发性淀粉样变性之间尚无明确关联,继发性淀粉样变性通常见于慢性炎症性疾病,但据推测IgA肾病可能是一种伴有炎症介质的全身性疾病。我们报告一例患有IgA肾病且此前接受过肾移植的患者发生尿道淀粉样变性的病例。
