Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is an umbrella term that describes diseases caused by abnormal deposits in the body of the protein amyloid. These rare and incurable diseases are more common in people over the age of 40 years, for reasons unknown.
Amyloidosis- familial visceral
Overview
A rare genetic disorder involving widespread amyloidosis (abnormal buildup of amyloid protein in tissues) which tends the affect the kidneys severely.
Amyloidosis, primary: A disorder of plasma cells (special white blood cells that produce antibodies), this is one of a group of diseases (called amyloidosis) in which protein deposits (amyloid) accumulate in one or more organ systems in the body.
