The cause of primary amyloidosis is unknown, but the condition is related to abnormal production of immunoglobulins by plasma cells (a type of immune cell). Symptoms are related to the organs affected by the deposits, which can include the following: tongue, intestines, skeletal and smooth muscles, nerves, skin, ligaments, heart, liver, spleen, and kidneys. Cardiomyopathy (decreased heart function), renal failure (kidney failure), carpal tunnel syndrome (painful swelling of nerves in the wrist), malabsorption (inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract), gastrointestinal reflux, and other conditions can result. The deposits infiltrate the affected organs, causing them to lose resilience and become stiff, which decreases their ability to function. Secondary amyloidosis can be caused by infection, inflammatory diseases, and sometimes cancer.

Amyloidosis refers to buildup of a fibril called amyloid in tissues anywhere in the body. Fibrils are proteins produced in excess that are deposited in different organs and slowly replace normal tissue. Different types of amyloidosis are caused by different types of proteins, such as "AL" and "AA." In cardiac amyloidosis there may be associated conduction disturbances (changes in the way the cardiac electrical impulse is transmitted through the heart). Cardiac amyloidosis usually occurs during primary amyloidosis (called AL type amyloidosis). Primary amyloidosis usually accompanies multiple myeloma, a blood disorder in which too much of a certain type of protein is produced. This excess protein is deposited in the heart and in other organs such as the kidney. Deteriorating kidney function also occurs.

    Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Amyloidosis, deposition of amyloid within various tissues. Amyloidosis may be primary, familial, age-related, or associated with haemodialysis or a number of diseases. In the primary form, mesenchymal structures, such as the heart, muscle, tongue, synovial membrane and perivascular connective tissues are most frequently involved. A similar form occurs in patients with plasma cell myeloma . In the secondary form, amyloid deposition shows predilection for the liver, spleen, kidneys and adrenals. Associated disorders include rheumatoid arthritis, sepsis, neoplasm, inflammatory disorders, familial Mediterranean fever, Crohn's disease and cystic fibrosis. The heredofamilial amyloidoses include neuropathies, nephropathies, cardiomyopathies, and miscellaneous types. Deposition of amyloid in cardiac tissues results in decompensation with dyspnoea, oedema and pleural effusion. In addition, macroglossia may develop and lead to dysphagia and dysarthria. Other features of amyloidosis are hypertension, lymphadenopathy, weight loss, purpura, scleroderma-like skin changes and joint pain. For a further description, see

    Extractions: *For Medical Professionals only, registration required Amyloidosis, a collective term for a group of diseases that are characterized by the widespread extracellular deposition of insoluble amyloid protein. The process is usually systemic, but localized forms are recognized. Clinical manifestations are protean, and result from organ dysfunction secondary to amyloid protein accumulation. Amyloidosis may be primary (idiopathic) or secondary. Secondary causes include myeloma , solid malignancies, and chronic inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and tuberculosis . In primary nonfamilial, amyloidosis and amyloidosis secondary to myeloma, the deposited protein is derived from immunoglobulin light chains. In nonmyelomatous secondary amyloidosis, the protein is derived from amyloid A protein, an acute phase reaction protein. Renal cell cancer is the commonest solid organ malignancy associated with secondary amyloidosis. Approximately 3% of patients with renal cell carcinoma have autopsy evidence of systemic amyloidosis, and this can occur in the absence of metastases. CT findings in amyloidosis are extremely variable and diverse. The usual sites of involvement in primary amyloidosis are kidneys, heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract and skin, while the usual sites in secondary amyloidosis are kidneys, liver, spleen and adrenal glands.

Supporting Research There are four major types of systemic amyloidosis: Amyloid deposits can affect any organ or tissue. Localized amyloidosis affects more than 90% of people with Type II diabetes mellitus, people with certain cancers of the thyroid or other tumors of the endocrine system, and about 80% of people over age 80. It also affects people with conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Down's syndrome, hereditary cerebral hemorrhage, and the disease commonly known as "mad cow disease." Signs and Symptoms The signs and symptoms depend on the location and size of the amyloid deposits.

    Extractions: The Centre conducts world leading research in all aspects of the pentraxin family of plasma proteins, and in amyloidosis, ranging from structural biology, through molecular, genetic, biochemical, physiological and pathological studies, to clinical diagnostics, patient management and new drug discovery. There are extensive collaborative links with scientists, clinicians and industry in many of these areas. The goal is to elucidate fundamental normal and pathobiological mechanisms in order to improve diagnosis, management and outcome of disease. Apart from all aspects of amyloidosis, for which the NHS National Centre is located in this Department, there are particular interests in coronary heart disease and atherothrombosis generally, and in inflammatory and autoimmune diseases.
