What it is
A rare hereditary amyloidosis with primary renal involvement characterized by variable onset of renal insufficiency with edema, hypertension, proteinuria, and azotemia, eventually leading to end-stage renal disease. Amyloid cardiomyopathy and histopathological evidence of amyloid deposition in other organs, such as the spleen, liver, adrenal glands, and pancreas, among others, have also been described.

ICD-10 codes
ICD-10 has no distinct code for most rare diseases, so many are filed under the nearest available one. A shared code identifies the group, not this disease — the ORPHAcode above is what identifies it.
