    Extractions: Please help... Your donation will go for research to help find a cure... learn more! What Is Amyloidosis? Amyloidosis is a group of diseases in which one or more organ systems in the body accumulate deposits of abnormal proteins. The name "amyloidosis" was first used more than 100 years ago but cases were described over 300 years ago. However, only within the past 20 years have physicians understood the specific make-up and structure of amyloid protein. Although amyloidosis is not cancer, it is very serious. It may be disabling or life threatening. However, growing awareness of the condition seems to be leading to substantial new research and treatment alternatives. There are three major types of amyloidosis that are all very different from each other: 1. PRIMARY AMYLOIDOSIS is a plasma cell disorder which originates in the bone marrow and is usually treated with chemotherapy. It is the most common type of amyloidosis in the United States, with estimates of up to 2000 cases diagnosed each year, and occasionally occurs with multiple myeloma. The deposits in this type of the disease are made up of immunoglobulin light chain proteins which may be deposited in any bodily tissues or organs. The disease results when enough amyloid protein builds up in one or more organs to cause the organ(s) to malfunction. The heart, kidneys, nervous system and gastrointestinal tract are most often affected.

    Extractions: Published in the July/August 1993 issue of The Barker What is Amyloidosis? A generic term for a collection of diseases that result in the abnormal deposition of amyloid protein throughout the body. How is Amyloid Made? When inflammation occurs, certain chemicals are produced and released into the blood. These chemicals of inflammation are called the Acute Phase Reactant Proteins (APP). After the inflammation has gone away, the APP are broken down by the body and excreted. Dogs (or people) with amyloidosis can't break these APP down into excretable form and instead turn it into Amyloid AA and dump it outside the cells but still within the body. Why does the Amyloid make them sick? Amyloid is constantly deposited outside the cells. It builds up like a garbage heap in an alley vay until it starts to squeeze the adjacent cell walls. The compressed cells can't work properly. The damage or disease that results depends on what kinds of body cells are most severely damaged or killed. Kidncys can't heal themselves by growing new kidney cells. If a kidney cell dies, it is gone for good and can't be replaced. This is why the amyloid protein usually causes kidney failure first.

    Extractions: Volume 1, Number 2 This is a case report of AL primary amyloidosis with involvement limited to the skin for more than twenty years before the development of internal organ involvement. The clinical features suggested the systemic form of amyloidosis, rather than that found with nodular cutaneous amyloidosis. Longstanding lesions of nodular amyloidosis even in the face of a negative workup for internal involvement, can be consistent with systemic disease. This is an example of a patient who had extensive cutaneous amyloidosis for twenty years before developing cardiac involvement which then lead to her death. Patients who present with cutaneous features of amyloidosis usually undergo an evaluation to categorize the disease. Skin biopsy with ultrastructural immunohistochemical stains can help confirm the presence and subtype of amyloid. Once a patient has been found to have cutaneous amyloidosis, an extensive workup must be done to evaluate patients for the possibility of systemic involvement. Workup for systemic disease includes: serum and urine immunoelectrophoresis, rectal mucosal or abdominal fat biopsy, bone marrow biopsy, CBC, chemistry panel, and skull and spine X-rays. The origin of the amyloid and the extent of internal involvement are used to determine the approach to treatment.

Medical Services Amyloidosis Amyloidosis Treatment Disease Characteristics Lifestyle Management Appointments ... Medical Services Amyloid (pronounced am'-i-loyd) is an abnormal protein that may be deposited in your body's tissues or organs. This abnormal protein comes from cells in your bone marrow. Amyloidosis (pronounced am-i-loy-do'-sis) results when enough amyloid protein builds up in one or more organs to cause the organ(s) to malfunction. The heart, kidneys, nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract are most often affected. Amyloidosis is a disease of the bone marrow. Your bone marrow makes protective antibodies. Antibodies are proteins that protect you against infection and disease. After they have served their function, these antibodies are broken down and recycled by your body. In amyloidosis, cells in the bone marrow produce antibodies that cannot be broken down. These antibodies then begin to build up in the bloodstream. Ultimately, they leave the bloodstream and can deposit in your tissues as amyloid. Cases of amyloidosis were described 350 years ago. The name "amyloidosis" was first used more than 100 years ago. Only within the past 20 years have physicians understood the specific makeup and structure of amyloid protein. Active research on amyloidosis is under way at Mayo Clinic.

This is especially noticeable in the areas to the right and left of the "6" mark on the ruler. Had this liver been stained with Lugol's solution, (an iodine containing solution) the amyloid would have stained a mahogany brown.

    Extractions: Amyloidosis is a group of diseases that result from the abnormal deposition of a particular protein, called amyloid, in various tissues of the body. Amyloid protein can be deposited in a localized area, and may not be harmful or only affect a single tissue of the body. This form of amyloidosis is called localized amyloidosis. Amyloidosis that affects tissues throughout the body is referred to as systemic amyloidosis. Systemic amyloidosis can cause serious changes in virtually any organ of the body. Amyloidosis can occur as its own entity or "secondarily" as a result of another illness, including multiple myeloma , chronic infections (such as tuberculosis or osteomyelitis), or chronic inflammatory diseases (such as rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis ). Amyloidosis can also be localized to a specific body area from aging. This localized form of amyloidosis does not have systemic implications for the rest of the body.
