“…Although the rectal biopsy in our patient did not demonstrate the presence of amyloid deposits, Blum and Sohar and others reported that rectal biopsies stained with Congo red yielded 75% positive results in patients with systemic amyloidosis compared with 87% for renal biopsy (26,27). It has been suggested that the presence of submucosa is necessary to diagnose amyloidosis.…”

SummarySecondary amyloidosis is a rare complication of Crohn's disease, especially in pediatric patients. This report describes an 11‐year‐old child with Crohn's disease who developed intermittent proteinuria and thyroid enlargement at 14 years of age as the initial manifestations of secondary amyloidosis. Deterioration in renal function resulted in her death at 20 years of age. Published reports that discuss the occurrence of systemic amyloidosis in Crohn's disease and the pediatric age group are reviewed.

“…More recently, renal biopsy has been used; this remains the only sure method of confirming renal involvement, but is a potentially dangerous procedure especially in children, and we prefer rectal biopsy as the initial screening test. Ennevaara and Martti (1964) found a close relationship between the results of these two investigations, only one out of eight showing amyloidosis on renal histology being negative on rectal biopsy. The duration, severity, and activity of Still's disease varies from case to case.…”

“…As appears from the results of the organ studies shown in table 11, amyloid was present in all the 24 renal specimens investigated. Hence, a great diagnostic value must be accorded to a positive or negative finding on renal biopsy, as has been previously pointed out (7,9). Although a risk of excessive bleeding from an amyloid degenerated tissue exists, no serious haemorrhagic complications occurred after biopsy.…”
