Urethral Amyloidosis in a Patient with IgA Nephropathy After Renal Transplant
Urethral amyloidosis is a rare condition that can cause hematuria and urinary obstruction symptoms. While there is no established association between immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy and secondary amyloidosis, which is typically found in chronic inflammatory conditions, it is hypothesized that IgA...

We present a case of urethral amyloidosis in a patient with IgA nephropathy who previously received a renal transplant. |
