Amyloidosis is a diverse entity that poses both diagnostic and treatment challenges. Whether systemic or local, amyloidosis has varied manifestations including occasional hepatic involvement. Hepatic amyloidosis, although rare, should be on the differential for those with unexplained hepatomegaly, cholestasis, alkaline phosphatase elevations, other associated organomegaly, and those with certain epidemiologic risks. In this study, we report a case of a man with systemic amyloid light chain amyloidosis with multiorgan involvement, acute liver injury, cholestasis, nephrotic syndrome, cardiomegaly, and bleeding diathesis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
