Respiratory involvement with amyloidosis typically involves the tracheobronchial tree or lung parenchyma. We describe a patient with systemic amyloidosis who was respirator-dependent because of extensive amyloid infiltration of the diaphragm, with no evidence of other pulmonary amyloidosis. Diaphragmatic myopathy from amyloid should be considered in respiratory failure in amyloidosis.
淀粉样变性累及呼吸系统通常涉及气管支气管树或肺实质。我们描述了一名患有系统性淀粉样变性的患者，该患者因膈肌广泛淀粉样浸润而依赖呼吸机，且无其他肺部淀粉样变性的证据。淀粉样变性导致的膈肌肌病在淀粉样变性引起的呼吸衰竭中应予以考虑。
