PReS-FINAL-2239: Renal AA amyloidosis in a child with hyper-IgD syndrome and a novel MVK mutation

2013 
AA amyloidosis may develop as a consequence of chronic inflammatory conditions including autoinflammatory diseases(AID). Mevalonate-kinase(MVK) deficiency(MKD) appears to be the least frequent underlying condition among monogenic periodic syndromes. Moreover, amyloidosis rarely manifests during childhood. We report a case of a small child in whom renal biopsy performed because of the cortico-resistant nephrotic syndrome revealed amyloid A.
