Amyloidosis is a rare but serious group of diseases where abnormal proteins, called amyloids, build up in organs and tissues, disrupting their normal function. Because its symptoms—like fatigue, swelling, shortness of breath, and neuropathy—mimic more common conditions, getting an accurate amyloidosis diagnosis can be challenging and delayed. At Diagnopein Diagnostic Center, we specialize in cutting through this complexity with precision, compassion, and advanced technology.
Types and Causes of Amyloidosis
Understanding the specific type of Amyloidosis is the critical first step, as treatment varies drastically.
AL (Primary) Amyloidosis: The most common type. Caused by malfunctioning plasma cells in bone marrow producing abnormal light chain proteins. It can affect the heart, kidneys, liver, and nerves.
AA (Secondary) Amyloidosis: Results from chronic inflammatory diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis or IBD) or chronic infections. The "AA" protein accumulates, primarily impacting the kidneys.
ATTR Amyloidosis: This type involves the transthyretin protein. It can be hereditary (hATTR) due to a genetic mutation or wild-type (wtATTR), which is age-related and often affects the heart and tendons.
Other Rare Types: Include localized, dialysis-related, and familial forms.
The Diagnostic Journey: Why Precision is Paramount
Diagnosis typically requires a high index of suspicion and involves:
Clinical Evaluation & Blood/Urine Tests: To detect abnormal proteins and assess organ function.
Tissue Biopsy: The gold standard for amyloidosis diagnosis. A small sample of tissue (from fat pad, bone marrow, or affected organ) is obtained and analyzed.
Specialized Staining & Typing: The biopsy sample is treated with Congo red dye, which shows apple-green birefringence under polarized light—a definitive sign of amyloid. Crucially, further immunohistochemistry or mass spectrometry is used to identify the exact protein type (AL, AA, ATTR), guiding all subsequent treatment.
Imaging: Cardiac MRI, echocardiogram, or nuclear scans (like DPD/PYP scans for ATTR amyloidosis) to evaluate organ involvement.
