Diagnosing Smoldering Multiple Myeloma and Light Chain Amyloidosis in the Setting of Severe Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy and Extracardiac Sarcoidosis

Annals of Internal Medicine: Clinical Cases
Light chain (AL) amyloidosis involves deposition of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain-derived amyloid fibrils, whereas ATTR amyloidosis involves deposition of insoluble antiparallel beta-pleated protein within tissues, leading to organ-specific ...

Acute kidney injury on chronic kidney disease: From congestive heart failure to light chain deposition disease and cast nephropathy in multiple myeloma [PDF]

, 2019
Acute on chronic renal failure is a common but notably broad diagnosis. We present a 64-year-old man with a history of diastolic heart failure and chronic kidney disease, admitted for an elevated creatinine.

C-src Enriched Serum Microvesicles Are Generated in Malignant Plasma Cell Dyscrasia [PDF]

, 2013
Plasma cell dyscrasias are immunosecretory disorders that can lead to hematological malignancies such as Multiple Myeloma (MM). MM accounts for 15% of all hematologic cancers, and those diagnosed with MM typically become severely ill and have a low life

Progression and prognostic significance of electrocardiographic findings in patients with cardiac amyloidosis

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 809-818, April 2025.
Abstract Aims This study aimed to evaluate the change of the main electrocardiographic (ECG) characteristics and their prognostic role across the main subtypes of cardiac amyloidosis [light‐chain amyloidosis (AL) and hereditary (ATTRv) and wild‐type transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRwt)].

Renal Amyloidosis Associated With 5 Novel Variants in the Fibrinogen A Alpha Chain Protein

Kidney International Reports, 2017
Fibrinogen A alpha chain amyloidosis is an autosomal dominant disease associated with mutations in the fibrinogen A alpha chain (FGA) gene, and it is the most common cause of hereditary renal amyloidosis in the UK.

Prevalence of transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis in undifferentiated heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1176-1182, April 2025.
Abstract Aims Transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) is an increasinglyrecognized cause of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), which may be diagnosed non‐invasively using 99mTc 3,3‐diphosphono‐1,2‐propanodicarboxylic acid (DPD) scintigraphy‐based diagnostic criteria.
