| Abstract: | Systemic amyloidoses are a group of disorders that can be hereditary or acquired and have various renal manifestations and outcomes. Light chain amyloid has been considered the most common renal amyloid and, thus, has been the focus of substantial research and therapeutic interest but with improvement in diagnostic techniques. However, there has been growing interest in rarer forms of renal amyloid, including amyloid serum A protein, leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 amyloid, and transthyretin amyloid. In this review, we provide an update on diagnostics, renal outcomes, and therapeutic landscape in these specific types of amyloid. Copyright © 2024 The Author(s). |
