Renal amyloidosis: A rare presenting manifestation of Hodgkin’s disease

We describe a 35-year-old female who presented simultaneously with Hodgkin’s disease and nephrotic syndrome, which was found to be secondary to renal amyloidosis on renal biopsy. 相比於腎臟的微小變化疾病，類澱粉沉積所致之腎病症候群在霍杰金氏病中非常罕見。在活性的霍杰金氏病患者間，類澱粉沉積症通常潛伏多年，至後期演變成一個不可逆的併發症。至今，文獻鮮有記載霍杰金氏病及腎病症候群的共同病發現象。以下是一位35歲的女性患者，同時呈現霍杰金氏病及腎病症候群，後者經活組織檢驗證實是腎臟的類澱粉沉積症所致。
