Abstract:BackgroundRenal amyloidosis (RA) has a worldwide incidence of 5–13 cases per million person‐years and is expected to rise in upcoming years due to growing awareness, plus improvement of diagnostic modalities. Diagnosing RA remains challenging, especially when encountering very small, focal, or early amyloid deposits. Since delays in diagnosis portends poor prognosis, high morbidity, and mortality, it is crucial to evaluate the performance of commonly used diagnostic modalities. This is the first study that pre… Show more
