OBJECTIVE
The clinical profile in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), including its major manifestation, amyloidosis, is influenced by MEFV allelic heterogeneity and other genetic and/or environmental factors. In this study, we analyzed the contribution of genotypes at the MEFV and SAA1 loci to
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most prevalent type of hereditary recurrent fever. Although the inflammatory attacks that characterize the disease may sometimes be debilitating, reactive amyloidosis remains the most serious manifestation of FMF. Daily treatment with colchicine can prevent
OBJECTIVE
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disorder of childhood characterized by attacks of fever and serositis. Renal amyloidosis is the most important complication of the disease that determines the prognosis.
METHODS
Forty-eight Turkish FMF patients with amyloidosis
OBJECTIVE
This study investigates the clinical and demographic characteristics of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients with and without amyloidosis.
METHODS
The clinical data of 503 patients with FMF (females:males 250:253) were reviewed. Fifty of these patients had amyloidosis (f:m
The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of colchicine therapy on the outcome of amyloid nephropathy of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in childhood. The diagnosis of amyloidosis type AA was confirmed by renal biopsy in 38 patients. During a mean follow-up period of 30.5 months (range
OBJECTIVE
AA amyloidosis is a life-threatening complication of the hereditary periodic fever syndromes (HPFS), which are otherwise often compatible with normal life expectancy. This study was undertaken to determine the characteristics, presentation, natural history, and response to treatment in 46
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is 1 of the major causes of secondary amyloidosis. Renal involvement is the main clinical complication and it mostly presents with nephrotic syndrome and chronic renal failure. Although deposition of amyloid has been reported in several endocrine glands such as the
A patient with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) associated with renal amyloidosis, presented with hyperkalemia and acidosis which were excessive to his moderate degree of azotemia. The cause of this abnormality was isolated hypoaldosteronism with otherwise normal adrenal function and tubular
We studied the relationship between the autosomal recessive trait familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and the serum amyloid A (SAA) genes by comparing alleles of a highly polymorphic dinucleotide repeat and a conventional restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in the SAA gene cluster in
The anaesthetic management of a 33-year-old primigravid woman at 29 + 5 weeks' gestation with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), secondary amyloidosis, renal allograft with deteriorating renal function and cardiac impairment for emergency caesarean section is described. Pathophysiology and
BACKGROUND
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) is caused by dominant mutations in the TNFRSF1A gene. In typical cases TRAPS begins early in childhood and is characterised by high and remittent fever over a period of 1-4 weeks or longer, accompanied by systemic
Objectives: FMF shows considerable variability in severity and type of clinical manifestations by geographic region, which are attributed to Mediterranean fever (MEFV) gene allelic heterogeneity, additional genetic modifiers and
We report a case of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) with typical clinical and roentgenological findings of ankylosing spondylitis. The spinal involvement in FMF is discussed. A second unusual feature of this case is the occurrence of polyneuropathy which could possibly be ascribed to the slowly
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by recurrent self-limiting attacks of joint, chest and abdominal associated with fever. We present an unusual case of FMF with prolonged arthritis and amyloidosis. Familial Mediterranean fever should be considered in
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the effects of MEFV genotypes and the major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA) triplet repeat polymorphism on the severity and clinical features of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and amyloidosis in a group of Turkish FMF patients.
METHODS
We
