In many cases the treatment of individual patients will differ from that described in the booklets. At all times patients should rely on the advice of their specialist who is the only person with full information about their diagnosis and medical history. Causes Prognosis Amyloidosis is not a specific disease but the term for a group of conditions in which an abnormal substance called amyloid is deposited throughout the body. This factsheet deals specifically with the AL or primary form of the disease. The tissues that may be affected are nerves, heart, kidneys, tongue, intestines, liver, spleen, eyes, thyroid, skin and brain. When the condition is widespread throughout the body it is called systemic amyloidosis. In a minority of patients there will be very localized amyloid deposits. These usually occur in the lungs, larynx, skin, bladder or tongue. A type of blood cell called a plasma cell produces amyloid protein. The normal function of plasma cells is to make antibodies to fight infection.

Other characters Amyloidosis, a collective term for a group of diseases that are characterized by the widespread extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid protein. The process is usually systemic, but localized forms are recognized. Clinical manifestations are protean, and result from organ dysfunction secondary to amyloid protein accumulation. Amyloidosis may be primary (idiopathic) or secondary. Secondary causes include myeloma , solid malignancies, and chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis . In primary nonfamilial, amyloidosis and amyloidosis secondary to myeloma, the deposited protein is derived from immunoglobulin light chains. In nonmyelomatous secondary amyloidosis, the protein is derived from amyloid A protein, an acute phase reaction protein. Renal cell cancer is the commonest solid organ malignancy associated with secondary amyloidosis. Approximately 3% of patients with renal cell carcinoma have autopsy evidence of systemic amyloidosis, and this can occur in the absence of metastases. CT findings in amyloidosis are extremely variable and diverse. The usual sites of involvement in primary amyloidosis are kidneys, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and skin, while the usual sites in secondary amyloidosis are kidneys, liver, spleen and adrenal glands.

Other characters Amyloidosis, deposition of amyloid within various tissues. Amyloidosis may be primary, familial, age-related, or associated with haemodialysis or a number of diseases. In the primary form, mesenchymal structures, such as the heart, muscle, tongue, synovial membrane and perivascular connective tissues are most frequently involved. A similar form occurs in patients with plasma cell myeloma . In the secondary form, amyloid deposition shows predilection for the liver, spleen, kidneys and adrenals. Associated disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, neoplasm, inflammatory disorders, familial Mediterranean fever, Crohn's disease and cystic fibrosis. The heredofamilial amyloidoses include neuropathies, nephropathies, cardiomyopathies, and miscellaneous types. Deposition of amyloid in cardiac tissues results in decompensation with dyspnoea, oedema and pleural effusion. In addition, macroglossia may develop and lead to dysphagia and dysarthria. Other features of amyloidosis are hypertension, lymphadenopathy, weight loss, purpura, scleroderma-like skin changes and joint pain. For a further description, see amyloidosis Musculoskeletal abnormalities include bone and articular lesions from deposition of amyloid in bone, synovium and soft tissue. Amyloidosis is a well known complication of rheumatoid arthritis. It may also occur during the course of ankylosing spondylitis, intestinal arthropathies, and

These proteins are present due to their overproduction or decreased clearance. Their deposition may lead to compromise of vital organ function. The most common types of amyloidosis are:

    Extractions: MACULAR AMYLOIDOSIS Macular amyloidosis is seen most frequently on the upper back, and is characterized by irregular pigmentation and pruritus. It is thought that lichen amyloidosis, which occurs most frequently in the legs as papules or plaques, may represent macular amyloidosis with superimposed epidermal hyperplasia secondary to rubbing, picking, or scratching (secondary lichenification). Small deposits of amyloid are found in the papillary dermis in either condition, and such deposits may be overlooked on cursory examination of a slide. Pigment incontinence is usually seen. One occasionally finds a few apoptotic keratinocytes. It is thought that the amyloid may be partly derived from the products of apoptotic necrosis. As a side note, it is interesting that amyloid formation is not seen as part of the classical lichenoid reaction of skin , though the apoptotic keratinocytes (Civatte bodies) may persist as such when the i nflammatory reaction has subsided

    Extractions: NODULAR AMYLOIDOSIS Amyloid deposition in all layers of the dermis is characteristic of nodular amyloidosis. This is in contrast with the restriction of amyloid deposition to the superficial dermis in macular amyloidosis or in lichen amyloidosis. Although nodular amyloidosis may be limited to the skin, the same type of pathology can be associated with primary systemic amyloidosis, plasma cell dyscrasias, and paraproteinemias.

Abstract: A survey of the pathogenesis, diagnostics and treatment of amyloidosis is presented, illustrated by long-term clinical experience with the treatment of 28 patients with primary amyloidosis, 4 patients with familiar and 12 patients with secondary amyloidosis. To all patients combined treatment by glucocorticoids and cytostatics was administered. For primary amyloidosis methylprednisolone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, alkeran, chlorethylnitrosourea (VBMCP or MOCCA), and in secondary amyloidosis chlophosphamide, vincristine, prednisone (CVP). In all patients this treatment was combined with DMSO i.v. (5g/100ml saline) for 3-5 days preceding cytostatics. All patients received a combination of proteolytic enzymes (WOBE - MUGOS). In primary amyloidosis the median of survival was 48 months, in secondary amyloidosis 72 months, with response rates 75-80% and clinical remissions median 28 months for AA and 20 months for AL.

    Extractions: Amyloidosis is not a specific disease but a group of diseases characterized by an accumulation of protein deposits. Normally, blood cells produce antibodies to either protect against infection or fight disease. Once they have achieved their mission, these proteins, or amyloids, are broken down and recycled. In some cases, though, an overproduction of proteins occurs and they start to build up outside the cells. These buildups can cause problems in various organs or systems anywhere in the body. In general, amyloidosis is treated in one of two ways. One is to delay the progression of the disease, and the other is to enable the body to absorb more of the deposits. Chemotherapy is a traditional treatment that destroys the excess buildup. Other therapies include the use of thalidomide and dendritic cell therapy.
