Abstract Background and Aims Renal AA amyloidosis is the most serious complication of periodic fever syndrome, which, inadequate suppression, due to persistent inflammation, leads to nephrotic syndrome and renal failure over several years. In most cases, periodic fever syndromes begin to manifest clinically in early childhood. Occurrence in adulthood is considered rare and is associated with a poorer clinical course. Kidney transplantation is an effective and safe treatment for end-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) based on AA amyloidosis. Method We present cases of two patients after deceased donor kidney transplantation, who have been diagnosed with adult periodic fever syndrome. Conclusion Periodic fever syndromes are diseases beginning to manifest clinically in early childhood in 60–90% of cases, most often in the case of familial Mediterranean fever around 4 years of age, in the case of CAPS usually only a few months after birth. Occurrence in adulthood is considered rare and is associated with a poorer clinical course. Kidney transplantation is an effective and safe treatment of end-stage CKD based on AA amyloidosis associated with periodic fever syndrome. Adequate targeted treatment against IL-1 or TNF is important and appears to be safe during the post-transplant period, with regular monitoring of renal function, acute phase inflammatory reactants, and histological findings by protocol graft biopsies. It will be important and necessary to assess the development of diseases in the post-transplant period in the long term.
