Abstract

• Pathogenesis: abnormal proteinaceous deposits accumulate within tissues.

• Signs: depend on which tissues are disrupted by amyloid accumulation.

• May be systemic or localized: kidneys often affected, also liver and spleen.

• Treatment: few options: colchicine and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) have been tried.

• Prognosis: usually progressive until death.

• Familial and sporadic forms also occur.
