Twenty cases of renal amyloidosis were observed among 182 patients who underwent kidney biopsy at Jordan University Hospital (JUH) during the period 1979-1983. Eight cases were classified as primary amyloidosis while the remaining 12 were secondary to various underlying diseases, the most significant one was familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Comparison of incidence of renal amyloidosis in kidney biopsy series from neighbouring countries is presented.
