Surprisingly little has been written about the association of amyloidosis with inflammatory bowel disease. On reviewing the literature it appears that there is a correlation between amyloidosis and Crohn's disease, but little definitive evidence of such a relationship with ulcerative colitis could be found. No specific features emerge as aetiological factors in the amyloidosis of inflammatory bowel disease. The amyloidosis may arise after only a short duration of bowel disease, and there is evidence that the association may be commoner than is realized. The need for a prospective systematic search in a large number of patients with inflammatory bowel disease is emphasized.
令人惊讶的是，关于淀粉样变性与炎症性肠病之间关联的文献非常少。在查阅文献时发现，淀粉样变性与克罗恩病之间似乎存在相关性，但几乎找不到与溃疡性结肠炎存在这种关系的确切证据。在炎症性肠病的淀粉样变性中，没有特定特征可作为病因因素出现。淀粉样变性可能在肠道疾病发作后不久就出现，而且有证据表明这种关联可能比人们意识到的更为常见。强调需要对大量炎症性肠病患者进行前瞻性系统研究。
