Abstract
Amyloidosis commonly involves the liver but clinical features of liver disease are rare. We report a case of cholestasis and hepatic failure in an 85-year-old man due to primary amyloidosis. This has not been r eported previously in anyone of this advanced age. We discuss the clin ical features of hepatic amyloidosis and the importance of making a di agnosis.
