Abstract

Amyloidosis is a disorder in which soluble proteins aggregate and are deposited extracellularly in tissues as insoluble fibrils, causing progressive organ dysfunction. Amyloid fibril formation begins with misfolding of amyloidogenic precursor proteins. The fibrils have a characteristic appearance by electron microscopy and produce double refraction under polarized light when stained with Congo red dye. Classification of amyloidosis is based on the precursor proteins that form amyloid fibrils and the distribution of amyloid deposition both systemically and locally. The main form of systemic amyloidosis; AL amyloid, AA amyloidosis, ATTR amyloid. The kidney is the organ most frequently involved in systemic amyloidosis. Systemic amyloidosis may originate from anomalous proteins, such as immunoglobulin light chains or serum amyloid protein in chronic inflammation or may arise from hereditary disorders. The clinical manifestations of renal amyloidosis vary with the type of amyloid protein and the location and extent of amyloid deposition. Treatment of amyloidosis should be a two-part process; managing symptoms and reducing or stabilizing amyloid protein. Treatment of amyloidosis is focused on reducing the production of amyloidogenic proteins and inhibiting their aggregation.

Abstract

Hypertension and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are interrelated public health problems throughout the world. Hypertension accompanied by CKD is mostly difficult to control. Difficulty in controlling blood pressure (BP) is known from changes in the diurnal variation of BP over 24 hours in CKD patients with a pattern of non-dipping and reverse dipping at night and an increase in pulse pressure due to arterial stiffness that occurs in CKD, resulting in a high incidence of nocturnal hypertension and masked hypertension. Nocturnal hypertension in CKD has a significant prognostic risk of increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cause of death. Therefore, guidelines for the management of hypertension strongly recommend that patients with hypertension have blood pressure well controlled at all times, especially to improve hypertension control at night in CKD patients.
