Abstract
Secondary amyloidosis is a well recognised complication of rheumatic d iseases, but the association with systemic lupus erythematosus is very unusual. We report the case of a patient with systemic lupus erythema tosus who developed proteinuria due to renal amyloidosis. We also revi ew the cases previously reported and the hypothesis on the pathogenic mechanisms.
