Abstract:
Amyloid goiter (AG) is a condition in which amyloid protein builds up in the thyroid gland. Patients with such a condition tend to have thyroid tissue that is extensively involved by amyloid; however, patients are usually euthyroid. Systemic amyloidosis is one of the conditions that may cause damage to the kidneys or worsen the condition of kidney failure in patients with ongoing chronic kidney disease as amyloid proteins can deposit in a variety of tissues including kidneys. Thyroid goiter can rarely be the first confirmed place to be involved with amyloidosis. We present the case of a 57-year-old female with AG who had a history of renal failure.
