BACKGROUND
We describe 2 patients with AA renal amyloidosis secondary to bronchiectasis (one patient had tracheobronchomegaly or Mounier-Kuhn syndrome).
METHODS
The time period between the diagnosis of bronchiectasis and the development of renal amyloidosis was 40 years and 30 years respectively. Both patients evolved to end-stage renal failure requiring dialysis.
CONCLUSIONS
Although the incidence of renal amyloidosis secondary to bronchectasis has declined, it remains a dreadful complication.
