BOOP (Bronchiolitis Obliterans Organizing Pneumonia) and Renal Amyloidosis Secon-dary to Infected Cystic Bronchiectasis

Amyloidosis is group of conditions occurring as a result of abnormal storage of a specific protein, amyloid, in various tissues in the body. Organizing pneumonia, a rarely seen within lung diseases, but rather possessing a characteristic clinicopathologic features is a table. A case applied to our hospital with shortness of breath, cough, sputum, and chest pain. Heterogeneity at the left paracardiac borderline, by closing the left sinus, was observed in the posteroanterior chest x-ray. Reticulonodular changes on the basis of extensive ground-glass density, locally consolidated areas, changes in bronchiectasis, and a loss of volume in the apical-posterior segment of the upper and lower lobes of the left lung were determined by High-resolution computed tomography. Because of proteinuria, renal biopsy was performed on the basis of renal amyloidosis. The pathologic examination was consistent with renal amyloidosis. A biopsy was carried out by fiberoptic bronchoscopy in the lower left lobe mucosa from the area of white plaque. The biopsy specimen was compatible with "organized pneumonia” (interstitial pneumonia and interstitial fibrosis). Secondary amyloidosis and bronchiolitis obliterans organizing pneumonia with renal involvement, progressing due to infected cystic bronchiectasis, are presented in this study.
