Familial renal amyloidosis (or familial visceral amyloidosis, or hereditary amyloid nephropathy) is a form of amyloidosis primarily presenting in the kidney.^[1]

It is associated with fibrinogen alpha chain,^[2] apolipoprotein A1,^[3] and lysozyme.^[4][5]

It is also known as "Ostertag" type, after B. Ostertag, who characterized it in 1932 and 1950.^[6][7]
