## Background: Systemic amyloidosis occurs as a result of amyloid deposition in various tissues. the amyloid fibrils in systemic amyloidosis have been reported to originate from immunoglobulin light chains. ## Objective: We studied the composition of amyloid fibrils from two patients with plasma
A correlation is demonstrated between chronic hemodialysis using cuprophane membranes (mean duration: 13 years) and pathological fractures (n = 7 in 6 patients) after lytic bone deposits of beta 2-microglobulin amyloid (n = 13 patients). The characteristic symptom complex includes painful impingemen
