Amyloid fibrils have an affinity for calcium, and radiographically detectable calcified amyloid deposits may occur in both primary and secondary amyloidosis. However, abdominal visceral calcification is rare. A patient with secondary amyloidosis due to juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is described who developed extensive liver, adrenal, and renal calcification shown by computed tomography. Adrenal calcification in amyloidosis has not been previously described.
淀粉样纤维对钙有亲和力，在原发性和继发性淀粉样变性中均可能出现影像学可检测到的钙化淀粉样沉积物。然而，腹部内脏钙化很少见。本文描述了一名因青少年类风湿性关节炎导致继发性淀粉样变性的患者，其计算机断层扫描显示肝脏、肾上腺和肾脏出现广泛钙化。此前尚未有淀粉样变性中肾上腺钙化的相关描述。
