What is
Amyloidosis?
Amyloidosis is a disease in which an abnormal protein called amyloid
accumulates in body tissues and organs. The protein deposits can be in a
single organ or dispersed throughout the body. The disease causes serious
problems in the affected areas, which may include the heart, brain, kidneys
and digestive tract. As a result, people with amyloidosis in different body
parts may experience different physical problems:

  • Brain — Dementia,
  • Heart — Heart failure, arrhythmias, enlarged heart,
  • Kidneys — Kidney failure,
  • Nervous system — Numbness, tingling or weakness from nerve
    disease,
  • Digestive system — Intestinal bleeding, intestinal obstruction, poor
    nutrient absorption,
  • Blood — Low blood counts, easy bruising or bleeding,
  • Pancreas — diabetes.

No one knows what causes amyloidosis. To make matters more complex,
amyloidosis is not a single disease, and there are many different types of
amyloid proteins that can be involved. For example, Alzheimer's disease and
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (a rare cause of dementia linked to viruses living
in livestock) are two distinct conditions characterized by amyloid deposits in
the brain, but the proteins involved are different. One of the methods
physicians use to categorize the type of amyloidosis is to classify it as either
primary or secondary. When there is no other underlying disease, and the
main problem stems from amyloidosis, the disorder is considered primary.
When another disease, usually a chronic inflammatory condition such as
tuberculosis or rheumatic disease, leads to amyloidosis, the disorder is
considered secondary. If the problems are serious and are causing
significant physical or mental limitations in your loved one for month on end,
they may be entitled to disability benefits. To determine whether they have
an entitlement for benefits, cash and medical insurance coverage, fill out the
