dc.description.abstract | A 54-year-old Korean male with scleroderma-like manifestation of primary systemic amyloidosis presented with firm cutaneous induration of face and distal extremities, subcutaneous induration of the trunk and proximal extremities, limited range of motion in all joints, hoarseness, and dysphagia. Monthly high-dose intravenous immunoglobulin (hdIVIg) was given (three treatments, each time administering 0.4 g/kg per day for five days), and both signs and symptoms began to improve. However, the quantitative analyses of serum protein did not improve. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) was performed monthly to clear the elevated serum immunoglobulin, and after several treatments, their levels normalized and symptoms were maintained in the improved state for more than two years. To summarize, hdIVIg and TPE combination therapy may be used as a safe first-line treatment for patients with primary systemic amyloidosis presenting with symptomatic monoclonal gammopathy. | - |
