Overview

Differentiating Primary amyloidosis from Other Diseases

Organ System Involvement Differential Diagnosis Causes Clinical Features Laboratory Findings Gold Standard Test Therapy
Polyneuropathy POEMS syndrome (Demyelinating)
Metabolic Syndrome (Axonal pathology)
Vitamin Deficiencies (Axonal Pathology)
Guillain-Barre Syndrome (Demyelinating)
  • Delayed F waves
  • Clinical diagnostic criteria (progressive weakness of more than two limbs, areflexia, and progression for no more than four weeks)
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) (Mixed axonal and demyelinatiing)
  • EFNS/PNS criteria
  • Koski criteria
Multifocal Motor Neuropathy
  • Progressive, asymmetric, distal and upper limb predominant weakness
  • No significant sensory abnormalities
  • Areflexia
  • Clinical criteria (EFNS/PNS):
    • Slowly progressive or step-wise progressive, focal, asymmetric limb weakness; i.e., motor involvement in the motor nerve distribution of at least two nerves for > 1 month.
    • No objective sensory abnormalities except for minor vibration sense abnormalities in the lower limbs
Organ System Involvement Differential Diagnosis Causes Features Laboratory Findings Gold Standard Test Therapy
Organomegaly (Hepatosplenomegaly and Lymphadenopathy) Malaria
Kala-azar
Infective Hepatitis
Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia (CML)[4]
Lymphoma
Primary (AL) Amyloidosis
  • Typical green birefringence under polarized light after Congo red staining (appears in red under normal light)
  • Congo red staining
  • Melphalan-prednisone/dexamethasone
  • Dexamethasone plus Cyclophosphamide-thalidomide
  • Stem cell transplantation
Gaucher's Disease
Organ System Involvement Differential Diagnosis Causes Features Laboratory Findings Gold Standard Test Therapy
Cardiac Failure
Organ System Involvement Differential Diagnosis Causes Features Laboratory Findings Gold Standard Test Therapy
Plasma Cell Dyscrasias Multiple myeloma
  • Anemia
  • Thrombocytopenia
  • Leukopenia
  • Decreased albumin (reversed albumin:globulin ratio)
  • Increased serum creatinine, urea
  • Hypercalcemia
  • Elevated ESR
  • Normal-low alkaline phosphatase
  • RBC rouleaux formation
  • Bence-Jones proteins in urine
  • Clonal plasma cells on bone marrow exam greater than equal to 10%

AND

  • Any one of the following:
    • Evidence of end-organ damage
    • Hypercalcemia (>11 mg/dl)
    • Renal insufficiency
    • Anemia (Hb < 10 mg/dl)
    • Bone lesions
    • Greater than 1 lesions on MRI
Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS)
  • Serum M protein (IgG or IgA) <3g/dl

AND

  • Clonal bone marrow plasma cells < 10%

AND

  • No end-organ damage
  • Observation
Asymptomatic Plasma Cell Myeloma

(Smoldering and Indolent plasma cell myeloma)

  • Serum M protein (IgG or IgA greater than equal to 3 g/dl

OR

  • Urinary M protein greater than equal to 500 mg/24 h

AND/OR

  • Clonal bone marrow plasma cells 10-60%

AND

  • No end-organ damage
  • Observation
Plasmacytoma
  • On biopsy:
    • Solitary infiltrate of clonal plasma cells in bone (SBP) or soft tissue (EMP).
    • No evidence of infiltration by clonal plasma cells.
  • Negative skeletal survey plus MRI/CT spine and pelvis except for the solitary lesion.
  • Lack of hypercalcemia, renal insuffieciency, anemia, multiple bone lesions which would suggest MM
  • Diagnosis of exclusion
  • Radiotherapy
