Overview
The complications of amyloidosis include hyposplenism, malabsorption syndrome, myopathy, proximal renal tubular acidosis and renal failure. The severity of the disease depends on the organs that are affected. When the heart and kidneys are involved, it may lead to organ failure and eventual death.
Natural History
Complications
Possible complications of amyloidosis include:
- Hyposplenism
- Malabsorption syndrome
- Myopathy
- Proximal renal tubular acidosis
- Renal failure
- Vascular hemostatic disorder
- Chronic brain failure
- Nephrotic syndrome
- Myocarditis
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy
- Pulmonary fibrosis
- Autonomic neuropathy
- Pericardial effusion
- Congestive heart failure
- Endocrine failure (hormonal disorder)
- Respiratory failure
- Hypogonadic hypogonadism
- Death
Prognosis
The severity the disease depends on the organs that are affected. When the heart and kidney are involved, it may lead to organ failure and death. Body-wide (systemic) involvement can lead to death in 1 to 3 years.
