Nonchemotherapy Treatment of Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis [PDF]
Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL amyloidosis) is a rare, life-threatening disease characterized by the deposition of misfolded proteins in vital organs such as the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, the peripheral nervous system, and the gastrointestinal tract. This causes a direct toxic effect, eventually leading to organ failure. The underlying

Background: In cardiac amyloidosis, the prevalence of thromboembolic events and atrial fibrillation is higher in transthyretin amyloidosis compared to immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis.

Systemic Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis Involving the Large Intestine. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Amyloidosis is characterized by extracellular tissue deposition of fibrils resulting in disruption of tissue structure and function. Gastrointestinal amyloidosis commonly results from chronic inflammatory disorders (amyloid A amyloidosis) and is less commonly seen in immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis. We present a rare case of a

Daratumumab-Based Treatment for Immunoglobulin Light-Chain Amyloidosis [PDF]
Systemic immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) amyloidosis is characterized by deposition of amyloid fibrils of light chains produced by clonal CD38+ plasma cells. Daratumumab, a human CD38-targeting antibody, may improve outcomes for this disease.We randomly assigned patients with newly diagnosed AL amyloidosis to receive six cycles of bortezomib ...

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.

Hereditary systemic immunoglobulin light-chain amyloidosis [PDF]
Key PointsProtein and DNA analyses reveal that mutation in the immunoglobulin κ light-chain constant region gene may cause hereditary amyloidosis. Sequencing of immunoglobulin light-chain constant region genes is indicated for patients with AL amyloidosis and no evidence of a plasma cell dyscrasia.
