The infection may move up the system to the bladder or to the kidneys. Men most at risk for a UTI include: 1  Those with abnormalities of the urinary tract, such as kidney stones or an enlarged prostate.  Those who have a catheter or tube placed in the bladder.
Familial (hereditary) amyloidosis is a genetic form passed down in families that often affects nerves and kidneys. Secondary amyloidosis (AA) develops along with a chronic infectious or inflammatory disease, such as tuberculosis or rheumatoid arthritis.
When amyloidosis occurs secondarily as a result of another illness, such as chronic infections (for example, tuberculosis or osteomyelitis) or chronic inflammatory diseases (for example, rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis), the condition is referred to as secondary amyloidosis or AA amyloidosis.
