Department of Rheumatology of the Hospital Clinic i Provincial, Villarroel 170, 08036, Barcelona, Spain Secondary amyloidosis is a well recognised complication of rheumatic diseases, but the association with systemic lupus erythematosus is very unusual. We report the case of a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed proteinuria due to renal amyloidosis. We also review the cases previously reported and the hypothesis on the pathogenic mechanisms.
