Evaluation of peripheral amyloid neuropathy
Symptoms of peripheral nervous system (PNS) damage are common clinical manifestations of systemic amyloidosis. Peripheral amyloid neuropathy is characterized by a progressive course, leading to the disability of patients; however, the current ...

Abstract Light-chain amyloidosis has come far, with the first treatment getting regulatory approval in 2021. Daratumumab-based regimens achieve deep hematologic and organ responses, offering a new therapeutic backbone. Early identification, correct fibril typing, challenges of the very advanced patient, and lack of therapies to remove ...

Inhibition by small-molecule ligands of formation of amyloid fibrils of an immunoglobulin light chain variable domain. [PDF]
Overproduction of immunoglobulin light chains leads to systemic amyloidosis, a lethal disease characterized by the formation of amyloid fibrils in patients' tissues. Excess light chains are in equilibrium between dimers and less stable monomers which can

Strong positive light chain immunostaining in a patient with transthyretin amyloidosis
The two most common systemic amyloidosis types are immunoglobulin light chain (AL) and amyloid transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis, in which the precursor proteins responsible for amyloidosis are light chain and transthyretin, respectively.

Diagnostic sensitivity of abdominal fat aspiration in cardiac amyloidosis [PDF]
Aims: Congo red staining of an endomyocardial biopsy is the diagnostic gold-standard in suspected cardiac amyloidosis (CA), but the procedure is associated with the risk, albeit small, of serious complications, and delay in diagnosis due to the ...
