Extractions: I Primary Amyloidosis Primary amyloidosis is a disease caused by the abnormal accumulation of protein molecules in body tissues. These proteins are fragments of immunoglobulin (antibody) molecules which are normally present in the blood to give protection against bacteria and other infectious agents. Normally, antibody molecules are constantly being synthesized by cells of the immune system and then, after a finite life span, degraded so that there is a balance between production and degradation. In this way our active immune system protects our bodies from a constantly changing array of infectious bacteria and viruses. In primary amyloidosis a defect occurs in the immune system. Excessive amounts of certain antibody molecules are produced and fragments of these molecules get deposited in tissues. These tissue deposits, as they enlarge, damage normal tissues and cause the disease that we know as primary amyloidosis. The cause of primary amyloidosis is unknown. Since the amyloid protein comes from immunoglobulin molecules, it is possible that some response of the immune system to an infectious bacteria, virus or other foreign substance may trigger the overproduction of antibody protein. So far this is only speculation, because amyloid has not been known to be associated with any particular infection. Indeed, there are no epidemiological data to suggest that amyloid occurs as result of infection. More is known about how the antibody molecules are deposited in tissue and lead to the disease. It is known that antibody molecules are made only by certain cells in the immune system called plasma cells. It is known that plasma cells can synthesize large amounts of antibody molecules but are usually under regulatory mechanisms that maintain a balance.

Amyloidosis is regularly seen in the practice of a hematologist and has recently undergone major advances in terms of the ability to evaluate responses as well as new therapeutic options that were not available when this topic was covered as an education session macroglobulinemia (WM) is rarer than amyloidosis (1500 per year WM versus 3000 per year amyloid in the US), and recent consensus panels have established the definition of the disease, the diagnostic

Although amyloidosis is not cancer, it is very serious. It is disabling or life threatening. However, growing awareness of the condition seems to be leading to substantial new research and treatment alternatives.

Medical Services POEMS Syndrome POEMS Syndrome Overview Symptoms Diagnosis Treatment Options ... Medical Services (Synonyms: Crow-Fukase syndrome, PEP syndrome, Shimpo syndrome and Takatsuki syndrome) Patients with POEMS syndrome experience an integrated approach to diagnosis and treatment at Mayo Clinic. Working together, Mayo specialists develop a treatment plan based on the patient's needs and health issues. In some cases, patients with POEMS syndrome can receive a bone marrow transplant through Mayo Clinic's Transplant Center. Mayo is active in research on this disorder. POEMS syndrome is so rare that physicians who do not have experience with the disease may miss the diagnosis. Physicians at Mayo Clinic have the skills and experience necessary to diagnose this rare condition. The overgrowth of plasma cells can often be detected by finding an abnormal protein in the blood or urine, by an abnormality on a bone X-ray and/or a bone marrow biopsy. Read more about diagnosis of POEMS Syndrome Because POEMS syndrome is a multisystem disease, hematologists at Mayo Clinic gather neurologists, endocrinologists, radiation oncologists, physical therapists and other specialists to develop a comprehensive treatment approach. Treatment options include radiation therapy, corticosteroids, chemotherapy, a bone marrow transplant, hormone replacement therapy and physical therapy. Read more about
