Amyloid is an abnormal protein usually produced by cells in your bone marrow that can be deposited in any tissue or organ. Amyloidosis frequently affects the heart, kidneys, liver, spleen, nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Amyloidosis can affect different organs in different people, and there are many types of amyloid. The different types are defined by where the amyloid building blocks come from. The most common type of the disease, primary systemic amyloidosis, is a bone marrow disorder. Other types that come from the liver are considered familial, or inherited. In still other cases, amyloidosis may occur as a result of kidney disease in people who have undergone long-term dialysis therapy.

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.

Z Maryland Medical Center Programs Maryland Heart Center Home Medical Reference Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Primary amyloidosis Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: A disorder in which insoluble protein fibers are deposited in tissues and organs, impairing their function. Alternative Names: Amyloid - primary Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The cause of primary amyloidosis is unknown, but the condition is related to abnormal production of immunoglobulins by plasma cells (a type of immune cell). Symptoms are related to the organs affected by the deposits, which can include the following: tongue, intestines, skeletal and smooth muscles, nerves, skin, ligaments, heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys. Cardiomyopathy (decreased heart function), renal failure (kidney failure), carpal tunnel syndrome (painful swelling of nerves in the wrist), malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract), gastrointestinal reflux, and other conditions can result. 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. Risk factors have not been identified. Primary amyloidosis is rare, occurring only in 1 out of 100,000 people.

48. Amyloidosis amyloidosis Primary amyloidosis is a plasma cell disorder and occasionallyoccurs with multiple myeloma. http://www.medical-library.net/sites/_amyloidosis.html

Amyloidosis by Ron Kennedy, M.D., Santa Rosa, California Amyloidosis was first described in the 19th Century. Recently significant advances been made in understanding the disease. Amyloidosis is now known to be a group of diseases in which one or more organ systems in the body accumulates protein deposits. There are three major types, all very different from each other. 1. Primary Amyloidosis Primary amyloidosis is a plasma cell disorder and occasionally occurs with multiple myeloma. This is the most common type of amyloidosis in the United States and is usually treated (conventionally) with chemotherapy. Primary amyloid is not associated with any other diseases. In primary amyloidosis, the organs most often involved include the heart, kidneys, nervous system, and gastrointestinal tract. Amyloid deposits in these organs cause shortness of breath, fatigue, edema (swelling of ankles and legs), dizziness upon standing, a feeling of fullness in the stomach (especially after eating), diarrhea, weight loss, enlarged tongue, numbness of the legs and arms, and protein in the urine. 2. Secondary Amyloidosis

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:

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources 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).

Amyloidosis DESCRIPTION: A group of diseases characterized by increased deposition of amyloid fibrils in the tissues. Several different proteins may give rise to amyloid. 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: Primary amyloidosis: usually associated with the plasma cell disorders multiple myeloma and MGUS (monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance) Secondary amyloidosis: associated with several chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteomyelitis, malaria, tuberculosis, leprosy and familial Mediterranean fever Familial (hereditary) amyloidosis may occur in almost every ethnic group Hemodialysis amyloidosis: associated with renal hemodialysis Localized amyloidosis: associated with Alzheimer's disease System(s) affected: Endocrine/Metabolic, Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, Renal/Urologic, Musculoskeletal, Gastrointestinal, Nervous, Skin/Exocrine Genetics: Only hereditary amyloidosis can be inherited. The genetics are variable but usually autosomal dominant.
