Abstract

Hepatic involvement in primary amyloidosis is an infrequent challenge to the hepatologist. Although usually asymptomatic, amyloidosis may have unusual manifestations. Liver biopsy is an important diagnostic tool for this condition. Herein, we report three cases of portal hypertension related to primary hepatic amyloidosis, one of them in the form of acute liver failure.
