Amyloidosis

Amyloidosis refers to a set of uncommon conditions characterised by the accumulation of a protein known as amyloid in the body. This build-up can impact various organs, including the heart, kidneys, liver, nerves, and digestive system. While there is no cure for amyloidosis, treatments are available that can assist in managing symptoms. The specific symptoms experienced will vary based on which organs are affected, meaning you may not exhibit all potential symptoms. Common symptoms can overlap with those of many other health issues, so experiencing them does not necessarily indicate that you have amyloidosis. It’s essential to consult a GP for a proper evaluation. There are multiple types of amyloidosis, each with its own underlying causes.
