A case of familial mediterranean fever with seconder amyloidosis and intrahepatic cholestasis signs

Öz

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive hereditary disease which primarily affects populations surrounding the Mediterranean basin. One of the most significant complications of FMF is amyloidosis. The amyloid is of the AA type, which is typical of secondary amyloidosis. We report a case of a 24-year-old male with intrahepatic cholestasis, hepatic amyloid and FMF. The patient died because of renal involvement after 14 months.
