SECONDARY AMYLOIDOSIS

Abstract
30 examples of secondary amyloidosis were studied with special attention to distribution of the amyloid and to important symptoms resulting from it. A well-marked nephrotic syndrome occurred in 4 cases. Severe renal insufficiency developed terminally in 3 cases. The amyloid was deposited chiefly on the connective tissue or in the blood vessel walls of affected organs. This substance stained typically with methyl violet, Congo red and van Gieson stains.
