Successful Diflunisal Desensitization in a Transthyretin Amyloidosis Patient with NSAID Allergy: A Case Report
Introduction: Amyloid diseases have been known to be hereditary, including transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis where subunit protein mutations may occur in genes for TTR leading to the deposition of fibrils (low molecular weight subunits (5 to 25 kD) of proteins) in extracellular tissues. By reducing the formation of TTR amyloid, diflunisal, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), has shown ...
متن کاملThe molecular biology and clinical features of amyloid neuropathy.
Neuropathy is often a major manifestation of systemic amyloidosis. It is most frequently seen in patients with hereditary transthyretin (TTR) amyloidosis, but is also present in 20% of patients with systemic immunoglobulin light chain (primary) amyloidosis. Familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP) is the most common form of inherited amyloidotic polyneuropathy, with clinical and electrophysiologic...
متن کاملTransthyretin chemical chaperoning by flavonoids: Structure–activity insights towards the design of potent amyloidosis inhibitors
Background Many polyphenols have been proposed as broad-spectrum inhibitors of amyloid formation. To investigate structure-activity relationships relevant for the interaction of flavonoids with transthyretin (TTR), the protein associated with familial amyloid polyneuropathy (FAP), we compared the effects of major tea catechins and their larger polymers theaflavins, side-by-side, on TTR amyloid ...
متن کاملUpdates in Cardiac Amyloidosis: A Review
S ystemic amyloidosis is a relatively rare multisystem disease caused by the deposition of misfolded protein in various tissues and organs. It may present to almost any specialty, and diagnosis is frequently delayed.1 Cardiac involvement is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality, especially in primary light chain (AL) amyloidosis and in both wild-type and hereditary transthyretin amyloidosi...
