Zusammenfassung: | Clinical observation of the successful use of the interleukin 6 (IL6) inhibitor sarilumab in secondary renal amyloidosis in a patient with active seropositive rheumatoid arthritis, is presented. This complication was confirmed by biopsy of rectum. The presented clinical example demonstrates a fairly rapid, within five years from the onset of the disease, the development of secondary renal amyolidosis with the formation of a persistent nephrotic syndrome that is resistant to therapy with cyclophosphamide and rituximab. Prescription of the IL6 inhibitor tocilizumab contributed to a decrease in the clinical and laboratory activity of the underlying disease, a decrease in the severity of daily proteinuria, but did not allow to achieve the full effect. The use of another IL6 inhibitor – sarilumab, led to a complete regression of nephrotic syndrome with normalization of general urine analysis, biochemical blood tests – total protein, albumin, total cholesterol, against the background of stable clinical and laboratory remission of rheumatoid arthritis. |
