Cardiac Amyloidosis – An Underdiagnosed Cause of Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction – Updated Diagnosis and Treatment Options [PDF]

Romanian Journal of Cardiology, 2021
Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) still represents a frequently missed cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). In the light of many new and effective therapies for immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) and for transthyretin ...

Senile Systemic Amyloidosis: Clinical Features at Presentation and Outcome [PDF]

, 2013
Background Cardiac amyloidosis is a fatal disease whose prognosis and treatment rely on identification of the amyloid type. In our aging population transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt) is common and must be differentiated from other amyloid types.

Chronic myopathy due to immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis [PDF]

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism, 2013
Amyloid myopathy associated with a plasma cell dyscrasia is a rare cause of muscle hypertrophy. It can be a challenging diagnosis, since pathological findings are often elusive. In addition, the mechanism by which immunoglobulin light-chain deposition stimulates muscle overgrowth remains poorly understood. We present a 53-year old female with a 10-year

Light Chain Stabilization: A Therapeutic Approach to Ameliorate AL Amyloidosis

Hemato, 2021
Non-native immunoglobulin light chain conformations, including aggregates, appear to cause light chain amyloidosis pathology. Despite significant progress in pharmacological eradication of the neoplastic plasma cells that secrete these light chains, in ...

Localized Lymph Node Light Chain Amyloidosis

Case Reports in Hematology, 2015
Immunoglobulin-derived light chain amyloidosis can occasionally be associated with localized disease. We present a patient with localized lymph node light chain amyloidosis without an underlying monoclonal protein or lymphoproliferative disorder and ...

Duodenal biopsy: an unexpected confirmatory test for a patient with al-amyloidosis

Sri Lanka Journal of Medicine, 2019
SSystemic AL- amyloidosis is a disorder of protein folding in which there is extra-cellular accumulation as β pleated fibrillar deposits of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain fragments. AL- amyloidosis is a rare clinical entity.

Skeletal Myopathy as the Initial Manifestation of Light Chain Multiple Myeloma

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine, 2020
Monoclonal gammopathies due to plasma cell dyscrasias can cause various rare neuromuscular disorders. The peripheral nervous system is most commonly affected, while muscle diseases associated with monoclonal gammopathies are rare. Skeletal myopathy, as a
