Joint, Bone, Spine, 04/23/09
Fonnesu C et al. - Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is a hereditary autosomal recessive, autoinflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent, self-limiting episodes of short duration (mean 24–72 h) of fever and serositis. The most severe long-term complication is type AA amyloidosis, principally affecting the kidney and the cause of chronic renal failure. Two types of risk factors, genetic and non-genetic, have been identified for this complication. Currently, the only effective treatment of Familial Mediterranean Fever is the colchicine.
