Abstract

Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA), which is an inevitable complication of long-term haemodialysis (HD), manifests major clinic-pathological characteristics, including carpal tunnel syndrome, which is the most common clinical sign; systemic involvement of many articular tissues; and the presence of β2-microglobulin (β2M) as a precursor protein in this amyloidosis.
