Abstract :
Amyloidosis is an extracellular deposition of abnormal serum
proteins. Systemic amyloidosis could involve different organs such
as the spleen, liver, and kidneys. Renal artery microaneurysm is
very rare in renal amyloidosis. We report a 44-year-old woman
who was referred to our general hospital for evaluation of rising
serum creatinine level, anemia, and pathological fracture. Two hours
following renal biopsy, she developed severe pain in the left flank
during voiding and ultrasonography revealed a large perinephric
hematoma. She underwent angiography that incidentally showed
pseudoaneurysm with diffused renal artery microaneurysm. The
feeding artery to the pseudoaneurysm was completely ligated by
an interventional radiologist. The subsequent histopathological
report of the kidney revealed amyloidosis.
