Amyloidosis ( am-i-loy-do'-sis ) is a rare bone marrow disease. The bone marrow is a reddish substance located in the center of your bones. Amyloidosis occurs when too much of a protein called amyloid builds up in an organ. The buildup of amyloid causes the organ to malfunction. The heart kidneys , nervous system and gastro-intestinal tract are most often affected. Amyloid ( am'-i-loyd ) is an abnormal protein. It comes from cells in your bone marrow. Amyloidosis is not cancer , but is very serious. Amyloidosis may be disabling or life threatening. What causes Amyloidosis? The exact cause of amyloidosis is unknown. But the majority of people who get amyloidosis are over the age of 40. What are the symptoms of amyloidosis? There are many different symptoms. The symptoms of amyloidosis depend on the organs it affects. Some of the most common symptoms are: Swelling of ankles and legs Weakness Weight loss Shortness of breath Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet Diarrhea Severe fatigue Enlarged tongue Amyloidosis and Kidneys When your kidneys are affected, they are unable to filter blood properly. This causes your feet, ankles and calves to swell. Weight loss, and distaste for certain foods may also occur.

The deposits can be located in a single organ or dispersed throughout the body. The disease causes serious problems in the affected areas, which may include the heart, brain, kidneys and digestive tract. As a result, people with amyloidosis in different body parts may experience different physical problems:

Amyloidosis on the Fingers Amyloidosis on the Face The cause of primary amyloidosis is unknown, but the condition is related to abnormal production of immunoglobulins by a type of immune cell called plasma cells. The symptoms depend on the organs affected by the deposits, which can include the tongue, intestines, skeletal and smooth muscles, nerves, skin, ligaments, heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys. This can result in the following conditions: Cardiomyopathy (poor heart function) Kidney failure Carpal tunnel syndrome (painful swelling of nerves in the wrist) Malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract) Gastrointestinal reflux (GERD) Other conditions The deposits infiltrate the affected organs, causing them to lose resilience and become stiff, which decreases their ability to function. Secondary amyloidosis can be caused by infection, inflammatory diseases, and sometimes cancer.

Encyclopedia Index A Home Encyclopedia Encyclopedia Index A Amyloidosis Definition Amyloidosis is a progressive, incurable, metabolic disease characterized by abnormal deposits of protein in one or more organs or body systems. Description Amyloid proteins are manufactured by malfunctioning bone marrow. Amyloidosis, which occurs when accumulated amyloid deposits impair normal body function, can cause organ failure or death . It is a rare disease, occurring in about eight of every 1,000,000 people. It affects males and females equally and usually develops after the age of 40. At least 15 types of amyloidosis have been identified. Each one is associated with deposits of a different kind of protein. Types of amyloidosis The major forms of this disease are primary systemic, secondary, and familial or hereditary amyloidosis. There is also another form of amyloidosis associated with Alzheimer's disease Primary systemic amyloidosis usually develops between the ages of 50 and 60. With about 2,000 new cases diagnosed annually, primary systemic amyloidosis is the most common form of this disease in the United States. Also known as light-chain-related amyloidosis, it may also occur in association with multiple myeloma (bone marrow cancer Secondary amyloidosis is a result of chronic infection or inflammatory disease. It is often associated with:

A-Z Illnesses and Conditions Amyloidosis and abnormal deposits By Dr Rob Hicks Abnormal proteins Silent accumulation Taking a look Amyloidosis is not a common condition. However, since it can damage organs of the body causing them to malfunction and fail it needs to be considered when things start to go wrong. Abnormal proteins Amyloid is the term used to describe an abnormal protein in the body. When these abnormal proteins are deposited in any organ of the body, for example in the heart, the kidneys, or in the nerves, the condition is called amyloidosis. The collection of these abnormal proteins interferes with the normal functioning of the organ affected. Since there are many different abnormal proteins there are also many different forms of amyloidosis, each one being caused by a particular abnormal protein. Amyloidosis is more common in older people and is also twice as common in men than it is in women. In primary amyloidosis the condition may be inherited or as is more often the case, has no obvious cause at all. In secondary amyloidosis, which is the more common form, it occurs as a result of another condition. For example, under these circumstances amyloidosis may be a complication of rheumatoid arthritis, multiple myeloma, or a chronic infection such as tuberculosis.

Site map Search: Home Systemic Amyloidosis What is amyloidosis? Amyloidosis is the term used for a group of diseases where one or more body organs accumulate various insoluble proteins (amyloid) in amounts to cause dysfunction of the organ system. Organs often affected include the heart, kidney, gastrointestinal tract, nervous system and skin. Amyloidosis of the skin is called cutaneous amyloidosis. In this condition, amyloid or amyloid-like proteins are deposited in the dermis layer of skin. Types of amyloidosis There are three major types of amyloidosis: Primary amyloidosis This disorder of protein metabolism originates in the bone marrow and is occasionally associated with multiple myeloma. It is sometimes also referred to as amyloid L chain type (AL) amyloidosis. Primary systemic amyloidosis affects the heart, kidneys, liver, gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system. Skin involvement occurs in about 30-40% of patients. Amyloidosis confined to the skin is called primary localised cutaneous amyloidosis. Several different types of primary localised cutaneous amyloidosis exist. These include lichen amyloidosis, macular amyloidosis and nodular primary localised cutaneous amyloidosis.

Supporting Research There are four major types of systemic amyloidosis: Primary amyloidosis (the most common form), typically caused by a buildup of fragments of antibody proteins Hereditary amyloidosis, a genetic form passed down in families Reactive or secondary amyloidosis, which develops along with a chronic inflammatory disease, such as rheumatoid arthritis Beta -microglobulin is a protein that can build up in the blood as a result of kidney failure. This type of amyloidosis occurs in people who have been on dialysis for a long time. Amyloid deposits can affect any organ or tissue. Localized amyloidosis affects more than 90% of people with Type II diabetes mellitus, people with certain cancers of the thyroid or other tumors of the endocrine system, and about 80% of people over age 80. It also affects people with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, hereditary cerebral hemorrhage, and the disease commonly known as "mad cow disease." Signs and Symptoms The signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the amyloid deposits.
