Clinical Features and Treatment of the Systemic Amyloidoses
Because of the protean manifestations and relative rarity of the disease, amyloidosis often goes undiagnosed until late in its course. With the development of new therapies, the early diagnosis of amyloidosis offers the possibility of a prolonged remission of this otherwise inexorable disease.
Amyloidosis gives rise to a constellation of signs and symptoms but a major clue is the presence of signs or symptoms of disease in multiple organs.
