Description
Summary:	Due to the improvement in cystic fibrosis management, life expectancy has risen; on the other hand, longer survival has led to new complications, including secondary renal amyloidosis, which has been so far very uncommonly reported. Secondary nephropathic amyloidosis was seen in two 25-year and 22-year-old adults with cystic fibrosis. Both had developed recurrent pulmonary infections due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa over several years. One patient died after 2 years of progressive kidney failure. Severe renal insufficiency due to secondary amyloidosis may complicate the course of cystic fibrosis and become the main prognosis factor in adults.
