Interventions: Case 1 was treated with glucocorticoid combined with cyclosporine. Case 2
was treated with calcitriol and angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors. Outcomes: Two
cases were followed up for 5 months and 2 years, respectively; and case 1 was found to
have attenuated proteinuria while case 2 had an elevation of cholestasis indices along with
renal insufficiency. Lessons: Proteomic analysis by mass spectrometry of the amyloid
deposits combined with genetic analysis can provide accurate diagnosis of ApoA-1 …
