Abstract

Amyloidosis is characterized by abnormal deposition of aggregations of amyloid fibril proteins. Systemic amyloidosis usually involves multiple organs, with kidneys being the most common organ involved, followed by the heart. In general, the presentation of hepatic amyloidosis varies with minimal or no symptoms commonly seen. Hepatic amyloidosis is rarely associated with multiple myeloma. We report here a case of portal hypertension, ascites, and severe intrahepatic cholestasis as the initial presentation of hepatic amyloidosis and multiple myeloma, which followed a rapidly progressive clinical course.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 July 2018.
All research outputs
#20,588,763
of 23,173,635 outputs
Outputs from South Dakota Medicine
#102
of 189 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#293,116
of 331,447 outputs
Outputs of similar age from South Dakota Medicine
#4
of 6 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,173,635 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 189 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 331,447 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 6 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
