Abstract
Liver failure (LF) is a severe entity, which represents a diagnostic challenge for clinicians. Knowing the etiology of liver aggression is key for its management. We present a rare case of cholestatic LF secondary to primary AL (kappa-light chain) amyloidosis as a presentation associated to multiple myeloma.
