Beta-2 microglobulin amyloidosis (Aβ2M) (dialysis related amyloidosis)

Abstract

Dialysis-related amyloidosis secondary to β2 microglobulin deposition is a complication of long-term dialysis. Beta2 microglobulin has a tendency to deposit in the osteoarticular tissues, particularly in large bones and in synovial membranes. Clinical manifestations include carpal tunnel syndrome, destructive arthropathy, bone cysts and fractures. We diagnosed a patient with β2 microglobulin amyloidosis in whom cystic lesion and destructive arthropathy were clinically showed. The patient was a 53-year-old man who had been on hemodialysis for more than 15 years because of end-stage renal disease. Congo red staining and β2 microglobulin immunohistochemistry, showed extended β2 microglobulin deposits in the operation material was taken because of the pathological fracture of femur .
