[The analysis of secondary AA-amyloidosis current etiology and its influence on the approaches for diagnosis and treatment].

Among the most common causes of AA-amyloidosis at the present stage, in addition to RA (40.3%), a significant place is occupied by a group of diseases with a predominantly autoinflammatory mechanism (53.73%). To confirm the autoinflammatory mechanism of the predisposing disease it is recommended to study a highly sensitive parameter serum protein S100A12. An effective marker of the risk of AA-amyloidosis progression, especially in patients with subclinical activity of inflammatory disease, is a high level of production of amyloidogenic protein-a precursor of SAA.
