A case of hepatic amyloidosis accompanied with leg edema and ascites

We reported a case of hepatic amyloidosis assocated with multiple myeloma, showing leg edema and ascites. The inferior venacavogram revealed stenosis of the inferior vena cava depressed by the enlarged liver, and hepatic vein wedge pressure was 21 mmHg. It was considered that the rapid amyloid infil...

Zusammenfassung:	We reported a case of hepatic amyloidosis assocated with multiple myeloma, showing leg edema and ascites. The inferior venacavogram revealed stenosis of the inferior vena cava depressed by the enlarged liver, and hepatic vein wedge pressure was 21 mmHg. It was considered that the rapid amyloid infiltration to the liver obstructed inferior vena cava flow and leg edema appeared. In this case, the disturbed hepatic venous flow due to the stenosis of inferior vena cava might be one of the factors of portal hypertension.
