Amyloidosis

Amyloidosis is a rare disease caused by the abnormal buildup of amyloid proteins in various organs and tissues. These proteins can interfere with normal function, leading to symptoms that may affect the heart, kidneys, liver, or nervous system. There are different types of amyloidosis, with some linked to other conditions like multiple myeloma. Diagnosis often involves biopsies and imaging tests, and treatment options vary based on the type and severity, including medications to disrupt amyloid production or manage symptoms. Early detection is crucial to prevent serious complications and improve outcomes.
