METHODS: Ninety-four patients with familial Mediterranean fever and 60 healthy volunteers were included in the study. Of the patients, 12 had familial Mediterranean fever related amyloidosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A 45-year-old euthyroid Sephardic man, known to suffer from FMF, developed a goiter with cold nodule, after which a subtotal thyroidectomy was performed. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In this report, we have described a renal transplant recipient with delayed gastric emptying secondary to amyloidosis due to familial Mediterranean fever, which improved with erithromycin treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Colonic inflammation and multiple gastric aphthous ulcerations were observed. CONCLUSIONS: In this report, we described 11 patients who presented with gastrointestinal symptoms and eventually diagnosed as having FMF. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

arthritis and rash in an FMF attack The pain may be so severe that the first attack is thought to be appendicitis. [amyloidosis.org.uk]

The transient diplopia that we observed in another patient could be a side effect of TCZ, however diplopia related to this medication has not been reported previously. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Overall the mean creatinine clearance remained stable while the mean 24-hour proteinuria and acute phase response decreased. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

Treatment was stopped in one patient due to hypertensive encephalopathy which developed 1 week after the first dose of TCZ, therefore he was not included in this serie. [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]

According to the presence of microalbuminuria/proteinuria, patient groups were subgrouped into two by themselves as pediatric and adult groups with and without proteinuria. The most frequent mutation was M694V. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

After a mean follow up period of 6.5 months on TCZ therapy, the creatinine decreased from 3.2 mg/dl to 2.4 mg/dl in one patient and from 2.6 mg/dl to 1.9 mg/dl in the other, while GFR increased from 37.5 ml/min to 45.1 ml/min and from 39.9 ml/min to 59.0 [ojrd.biomedcentral.com]
