Abstract
Amyloidosis involves the deposition of abnormal proteins in various tissue and result in progressive organ dysfunction, commonly affecting multiple organs. Two types of systemic amyloidosis are AA and AL, the former is associated with acute phase reaction and the later is composed of light chain immunoglobulin. This disease commonly affects the kidneys and is evidenced by massive proteinuria. A biopsy is the gold standard of diagnosis, with Congo Red staining revealing an apple green birefringence under polarized light microscope. We are presenting a 45 years old male who presented with rapid rising serum creatinine with history of multiple myeloma (non secretory). There was also history of spine tuberculosis.
