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:

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.
