Amyloidosis is an extremely rare complication of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and is associated with a poor prognosis. We report a case of amyloidosis secondary to severe PsA in a young patient and the course of his disease over a 13-year period of aggressive immunosuppression. Diagnosis of renal amyloidosis was made on biopsy: multi-agent immunosuppressive therapy was continued with stabilisation of renal function. Marked deterioration in renal function subsequently occurred following a reduction in cyclosporin A (CyA) dose and repeat biopsy confirmed worsening amyloidosis. This case report emphasises the need for aggressive control of the inflammatory response in secondary amyloidosis. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
