Pathophysiology

Pathogenesis

  • It is understood that amyloidosis is the result of deposition of Amyloid.[7]
  • Amyloid is an abnormal insoluble extracellular protein which may cause organic dysfunction and a wide variety of clinical syndromes.

  • Amyloid deposition can disrupt tissue structure of involved organ and consequently leads to organ failure.[11]
  • Genetic mutations in Apolipoprotein AII gene may lead to misfolding protein product.

Genetics
