| Abstract: | Renal amyloidosis, which leads to renal failure, is the most important long-term complication of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF). Resolution of nephrotic syndrome secondary to amyloidosis in FMF following colchicine treatment has rarely been reported. We describe two patients with FMF and nephrotic syndrome. These patients were treated with colchicine 1.5 mg/day and had a complete remission of nephrotic syndrome with a stable clinical course over 30 years. To our knowledge, our patients have the longest follow-up time without proteinuria. |
