Although hepatic involvement in light chain-associated amyloidosis is common, clinical manifestations of hepatic amyloidosis are rare. In most cases, hepatomegaly serves as a clue to diagnosis. We report a unique case of a 48-year-old man from China with jaundice and noncirrhotic portal hypertension, with rapidly progressive liver failure, in the absence of hepatomegaly, secondary to systemic light chain-associated amyloidosis associated with multiple myeloma.
尽管轻链相关性淀粉样变性累及肝脏很常见,但肝淀粉样变性的临床表现却很少见。在大多数情况下,肝肿大是诊断的线索。我们报告了一例独特的病例,一名来自中国的48岁男性,患有黄疸和非肝硬化性门静脉高压症,继发于与多发性骨髓瘤相关的系统性轻链相关性淀粉样变性,在没有肝肿大的情况下出现快速进展的肝功能衰竭。
