Novel treatments for systemic amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is characterized by the deposition of protein fi brils with a β-sheeted structure. This structure is responsible for the insolubility of the protein fi brils, their resistance to proteolysis and binding affi nity of Congo red dye, and the green birefringence observed with polarized light. In systemic amyloidosis, deposition of amyloid fi brils in (vital) organ systems leads to organ...

متن کاملClinical approach of patients with systemic amyloidosis
Hazenberg BPC. Clinical approach of patients with systemic amyloidosis Amyloidosis is the name of diseases characterised by deposition of protein fibrils with a beta-sheet structure. This beta-sheet structure generates affinity of amyloid for Congo red dye and is resistant to proteolysis. The main three types of systemic amyloidosis are AA (related to underlying chronic inflammation), AL (relat...
متن کاملDiagnostic and therapeutic approach of systemic amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis is a group of diseases, all characterised by deposition of protein fibrils with a beta-sheet structure. This structure generates affinity of amyloid for Congo red dye and is resistant to proteolysis. Three types of systemic amyloidosis are important for the clinician: AA (related to underlying chronic inflammation), AL (related to underlying monoclonal light chain production) and AT...
