Abstract

Systemic reactive (AA) amyloidosis, leading to renal failure, is a severe complication of most hereditary periodic fever syndromes. The risk of developing this life‐threatening condition varies widely among these disorders, being higher for patients affected by familial Mediterranean fever and tumor necrosis factor receptor–associated periodic syndrome. In spite of an acute‐phase response during attacks, amyloidosis has never, to date, been described in patients affected with the hyperimmunoglobulinemia D with periodic fever syndrome (HIDS). This is the first report to describe the occurrence of renal AA amyloidosis causing severe nephrotic syndrome in a young Italian man affected with HIDS. The diagnosis of HIDS was established according to clinical, laboratory, and genetic criteria as required by the international Nijmegen HIDS registry. In this patient, 2 mutations in the mevalonate kinase gene were identified, one of which, the leucine‐to‐arginine substitution at codon 265, is novel.
