Research Notes on Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a group of rare and potentially fatal diseases that occur when substances called amyloid proteins build up in the organs. Systemic amyloidosis is classified into three major types, primary (AL), secondary (AA), and hereditary (ATTR). Treatment of amyloidosis involves correcting organ failure and treating the underlying illness, from myeloma, infection, or inflammation. The most frequent cause of death in systemic amyloidosis is kidney failure.
