81. Dr. Koop - Cardiac Amyloidosis
    Cardiac amyloidosis is a disorder caused by deposits of an abnormal protein inthe heart tissue, resulting in decreased heart function.  
    http://www.drkoop.com/ency/93/000193.html
    
    Extractions: Different types of amyloidosis are caused by different types of proteins, such as "AL" and "AA." In cardiac amyloidosis there may be associated conduction disturbances (changes in the way the cardiac electrical impulse is transmitted through the heart). Cardiac amyloidosis usually occurs during primary amyloidosis (called AL type amyloidosis). Primary amyloidosis usually accompanies multiple myeloma, a blood disorder in which too much of a certain type of protein is produced. This excess protein is deposited in the heart and in other organs such as the kidney. Deteriorating kidney function also occurs.

Prevention Definition: Amyloidosis is a type of disease in which an abnormal protein deposits in various tissues. These protein deposits damage the tissues and interfere with the function of the involved organ. The abnormal protein deposits are called amyloid, hence the name of this group of diseases. Amyloidosis occurs in multiple forms: spontaneous, hereditary, and resulting from a cancer of the blood cells called myeloma. Hereditary amyloidosis is an inherited form that is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. * All Health Centers * Acne Addictions AIDS/HIV Alcohol Abuse Allergies Alternative Medicine Alzheimer's Arthritis Asthma Attention Deficit Disorder (ADHD) Backache Bipolar Affective Disorder Birth Control Blood Blood Pressure Bone/Joint/Tendon Bowel Brain Breast cancer Cancer Cerebral Palsy Cholesterol Cramps Crohn's Disease Cysts Dental/Oral Depression Diabetes Diet, Fitness, Looks

    Extractions: PREVALENCE AND INCIDENCE OF AMYLOIDOSIS Amyloidosis is a rare disease. About two-thirds of patients with amyloidosis have primary (where no specific cause or disease is related to the abnormal protein deposits), less than 5% have secondary (associated with another chronic disease, often in multiple myeloma), less than 5% familial (inherited) and less than 5% have senile (occurring secondary to old age) amyloidosis. In patients with primary amyloidosis, 95% are over the age of 40 and 66% are men.

    Extractions: Amyloidosis: 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 Researching symptoms of Amyloidosis: Further information about the symptoms of Amyloidosis is available including a list of symptoms of Amyloidosis , other diseases that might have similar symptoms in differential diagnosis of Amyloidosis , or alternatively return to research other symptoms in the symptom center Misdiagnosis and Amyloidosis: Research more detailed information about misdiagnosis of Amyloidosis underlying causes of Amyloidosis (possibly misdiagnosed), or research

    Extractions: Dialysis-related amyloidosis: Normal kidneys filter excess proteins from the blood, thus preventing levels from getting too high. When the kidneys don't work properly, as in patients receiving dialysis, another type of protein called beta-2-microglobulin may build up in the blood. When this occurs, beta-2-microglobulin molecules may join together, like the links of a chain, forming a few very large molecules from many smaller ones. These large molecules can form deposits and eventually damage the surrounding tissues and cause great discomfort. This condition is called

    An uncommon disease, where amyloid accumulates in tissues and organs.

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Dr Rob Hicks Amyloidosis is not a common condition. However, since it can damage organs of the body thereby causing them to malfunction, it needs to be considered when things start to go wrong. Abnormally folded proteins Silent accumulation Diagnosis and treatment Amyloid is the term used to describe a deposit of protein folded in a particular, abnormal way. When these mis-folded proteins deposit in an organ in 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. Amyloidosis is more common in older people and is also slightly more common in men than it is in women. Since there are many different proteins that may form amyloid, there are also many different types of amyloidosis. The commonest in the UK is AL amyloidosis (also known as primary amyloidosis) where abnormal cells in the bone marrow produce abnormal antibody proteins that form the amyloid. In AA (or secondary amyloidosis), it occurs as a result of an inflammatory condition, most often rheumatoid arthritis, due to the long-term overproduction of an otherwise normal inflammatory protein. There are also some rarer hereditary forms. Silent accumulation

    Extractions: Background Amyloidosis is a slowly progressive disease which can lead to significant morbidity and death. Amyloid deposits are extracellular and not metabolized or cleared by the body. Thus, the progressive deposits eventually impair the function of the organs where they accumulate. Amyloid is derived from precursor proteins that either have an abnormal structure or are abnormally increased in the serum. About 18 different amyloid precursor proteins have been described.

Probably the most significant finding is the discovery of amyloid in patients with Alzheimer's disease. In this setting, amyloid is postulated to have neurotoxic properties.

    Extractions: Donate to ASN 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. Normally, bone marrow makes protective antibodies, which are proteins that protect against infection and disease. After they have served their function, these antibodies are broken down and recycled in the body. With 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 the tissues or organs as amyloid.
