ABSTRACT
Two patients with primary amyloidosis, each of whom had received a renal transplant for chronic renal failure, developed amyloid in their allografts. In one patient amyloid was present primarily in glomeruli and to a lesser extent in the interstitial tissue. This patient developed renal failure necessitating retransplantation. In the second patient amyloid was seen in the interstitium and interlobular blood vessels. Minimal amyloid was present in the glomeruli. This patient died of cardiac amyloidosis with good graft function at the time of death. Of the several patients recorded in the literature with amyloid in renal allografts, our first patient is the only one to exhibit glomerular amyloid and failure of the graft. Amyloid in areas other than the glomerulus does not appear to be incompatible with satisfactory graft function.
