Mutations in the fibrinogen Aα-chain genes are the most common cause of hereditary renal amyloidosis. The renal histologic appearance in the patient is characteristic and shows striking glomerular enlargement with almost complete obliteration of the normal glomerular architecture by extensive amyloid deposition.
