Abstract

 

We describe a case of systemic amyloidosis predominantly involving the liver. The patient presented with non-specific symptoms and deranged LFTs. Liver biopsy  revealed  characteristic  findings  of  amyloidosis.  The  patient  was  treated with combination therapy and continues to have a good clinical response at four
months’  follow-up. We  briefly  discuss  the  classification,  presentation  and management of amyloidosis.
