Amyloidosis by George Jones Amyloidosis is the presence of abnormal amyloid protein deposited throughout an animals body. When inflammation occurs, specific chemicals are produced and released into the dogs blood stream. These chemicals are called Acute Phase Reactant Proteins (APP). Once the inflammation has cleared, the APPs are broken down by the body and excreted. In a dog with amyloidosis the body can not break the APPs into an excretable form. The partial break down results in the conversion of APPs into Amyloid AA. Amyloid AA is not excretable by the body. Amyloid AA is deposited outside the cells but remains within the body. With repeated bouts of inflammation the Amyloid AA is progressively built up until the deposits start compressing adjacent cell walls. These compressed cells can not properly function. The resulting damage or disease will be dependent upon the locations involved in Amyloid AA deposits. The kidneys are most commonly affected by Amyloidosis. Unlike other cells within the body, when a kidney cell is damaged, it dies. However, kidney cells can not be replaced. The kidneys do not generate new cells. For this reason the amyloid protein most often causes kidney failure first. Amyloidosis is fatal. Deaths have be reported ranging from eight months of age to 12 years. The most common ages being between 3 and 5 years old.

This section of myocardium demonstrates amorphous deposits of pale pink material between myocardial fibers. This is characteristic for amyloid. Amyloidosis is a cause for "infiltrative" or "restrictive" cardiomyopathy. It is a nightmare for anesthesiologists when intractable arrhythmias occur during surgery on such patients.

Am yloidosis What is amyloidosis? Amyloid (pronounced am'-i-loyd) is an abnormal protein that may be deposited in any of your body's tissues or organs. This abnormal protein comes from cells in your bone marrow. Scientists have now discovered the link between mycotoxin exposure, bone marrow and amylodosis. The disease known as 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 gastro-intestinal tract are most often affected. Amyloidosis is a bone marrow disease. 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. If you have 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 make-up and structure of amyloid protein. Active research on amyloidosis is underway at the Mayo Clinic.

About the Kidney Failure Series Proteins are important building blocks for all body parts, including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins circulate throughout the body in the blood and are normally harmless. Occasionally, cells produce abnormal proteins that can settle in body tissue, forming deposits and causing disease. When these deposits of abnormal proteins were first discovered, they were called amyloid , and the disease process amyloidosis In recent years, researchers have discovered that different kinds of proteins can form amyloid deposits and have identified several types of amyloidosis. Two of these types are closely related to kidney disease. In primary amyloidosis , abnormal protein production occurs as a first step and can lead to kidney disease. Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) , on the other hand, is a result of kidney disease.

LifeForce Hospitals Home Up Amyloid Protein Amyloidosis General Considerations (Note: Amyloid can be studied in the context of cell injury or immunological diseases. For this reason, we have included the same material in both Cell Injury and Immunopathology.) A myloidosis is not a single disease entity but rather a diverse group of disease processes characterized by extracellular tissue deposits, in one or many organs, of protein materials which are generically termed amyloid. Amyloid is distinguished grossly by a starch-like staining reaction with iodine (thus the term amyloid), microscopically by its extracellular distribution and tinctorial and optical properties when stained with Congo red, and by its protein fibril structure as shown by electron microscopy and x-ray crystallography (see Table-1). Table-1 Amyloid deposition may be either a primary (idiopathic) process without known antecedent or secondary to some other condition and may be localized to one specific site or generalized throughout the body (systemic), usually with fatal consequences. Although considerable overlap is seen in the organ distribution of various forms of amyloid, primary amyloidosis tends to involve mesodermal tissues, most frequently affecting peripheral nerves, skin, tongue, joints, heart, and liver while secondary amyloidosis mainly affects parenchymatous organs, such as spleen, kidneys, liver, and adrenals. Amyloid deposits typically contain three components. Amyloid protein fibrils account for about 90% of the amyloid material and comprise one of several different types of proteins with the capacity to fold into what are called "beta-pleated" sheet fibrils, a unique protein configuration with binding sites for Congo red. In addition, amyloid deposits are intimately associated with the amyloid P (pentagonal) component (AP), a glycoprotein related to normal serum amyloid P (SAP), and are closely associated with sulfated glycosaminoglycans (GAG), complex carbohydrates of connective tissue.

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.

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.
