Clinical Outcome of Immunoglobulin Light Chain Amyloidosis Affecting the Kidney [PDF]
Abstract Introduction: The kidney is affected by immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis (AL) in more than 50% of patients who present with the disease, but long-term predictors for and outcomes after renal replacement therapy have not been well described in this patient group Patients: 145 patients with AL who participated

Oxidative damage in immunoglobulin light chain and transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis – a closer look
Heart failure is a progressive disease, representing a growing cause of morbidity, hospitalization, and mortality. An increasingly common type of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is an immunoglobulin light chain and transthyretin ...

Nanoscopic Mapping of the Extracellular Space in Amyloid Plaque‐rich Cortex
The extracellular space and diffusion around amyloid plaques are examined using shadow imaging and single‐particle tracking. Increased diffusivity is found near plaques, extracellular matrix alterations, and plaque core penetrability that varies with amyloid phenotype.

Navigating the evolving management of smoldering multiple myeloma
Abstract Smoldering multiple myeloma (SMM) represents an intermediate clinical stage between monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) and symptomatic multiple myeloma (MM). SMM carries a highly variable risk of progression to MM, requiring individualized risk stratification to guide management.

ABSTRACT Introduction Bladder amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by amyloid fibril deposition in the bladder, often mimicking bladder cancer. Diagnosis requires histological analysis of the examination, and treatment typically involves transurethral resection. Case Presentation An 80‐year‐old male presented with gross hematuria.

Central nervous system involvement in cardiac amyloidosis: Redefining the heart‐brain axis
Central nervous system involvement in cardiac amyloidosis. Amyloidosis is a systemic disease that can directly affect the central nervous system. Furthermore, the amyloid cardiomyopathy can indirectly affect the central nervous system by inducing systemic hypoperfusion and increasing the risk of acute ischaemic stroke.

Púrpura: manifestação de amiloidose sistémica primária.
Primary Systemic Amyloidosis (AL) is the most frequent form of systemic amyloidosis and its morbilility is associated with immunoglobulin light chains deposition in vital organs. The mucocutaneous manifestations occur in about 30-40% of the cases and are
