| == Overview == | | == Overview == |
| [[Amyloid]] is an abnormal insoluble [[extracellular]] [[protein]] that deposits in the different tissues and causes organic dysfunction and a wide variety of clinical syndromes. In systemic amyloidosis, [[amyloid]] gradually accumulate and [[amyloid]] deposition is widespread in the viscera, [[blood vessel]] walls, and in the different [[Connective tissue|connective tissues]]. [[AA amyloidosis|Secondary amyloidosis]] is associated with chronic [[inflammation]] (such as [[tuberculosis]] or [[rheumatoid arthritis]]). | | The [[incidence]] of amyloidosis is approximately 1.2 per 100,000 individuals per year worldwide. The [[mortality rate]] of systemic amyloidosis is approximately 100 per 100,000 deaths in developed countries. In amyloidosis, the mean age of presentation is 55 - 60 years. Men are more commonly affected by amyloidosis than women. |

| *[[AA amyloidosis|Secondary amyloidosis]] occurs as a reaction to an existing illness.

| |
| *[[AA amyloidosis|Secondary or reactive amyloidosis (AA)]] comprises approximately 45% of the systemic amyloidoses.
| |
| *[[Pathogenesis]] of [[AA amyloidosis|secondary amyloidosis]] is multifactorial, including:

| **[[Primary structure]] of the [[precursor]] protein
| |
| **Acute phase response
| |
| **Nonfibril [[Protein|proteins]] ([[amyloid]] P component, [[Apolipoprotein E|apo E]], [[Glycosaminoglycan|GAGs]], [[Proteoglycan|proteoglycans]] and [[basement membrane]] [[Protein|proteins]])
