In scans taken 72 hr after intravenous administration of 5 mCi of /sup 67/Ga-citrate, both kidneys were clearly visible in two cases of histologically proven renal amyloidosis. Neither patient had clinical manifestations or laboratory evidence of concurrent inflammatory disease or tumor involving the kidneys. Increased renal concentration of lysosomal organelles and increased affinity of /sup 67/Ga for amyloid material contained in the organelles could explain the renal uptake of /sup 67/Ga in amyloidosis.
