La amiloidosis AL es una enfermedad debida al depósito, en órganos y tejidos, de fibrillas formadas por cadenas livianas producidas de forma patológica por plasmocitos clonales. Su tratamiento actualmente está orientado a erradicar el clon de células plasmáticas; este históricamente se extrapoló ...
Contexto: Amiloidose é um grupo de doenças caracterizadas pelo depósito de proteínas fibrilares, denominadas substância amiloide. Podem ser divididas em formas localizadas ou sistêmicas, sendo que dentre as localizadas, a forma nodular é a mais rara. Descrição do caso: Relatamos o caso de amiloi...
Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare disease. Treatment is challenging, justified in part by systemic compromise and limited scientific evidence. Develop evidencebased recommendations that allow adequate treatment of patients with amyloidosis AL. A list of PICO format questions focused ...
Las amiloidosis sistémicas constituyen un grupo de enfermedades con diversas etiologías, caracterizadas por la síntesis de proteínas con plegado defectuoso, capaces de agregarse y depositarse en el medio extracelular de diferentes órganos y tejidos, alterando su estructura y función. Se conocen má...
Amiloidosis se refiere a un grupo de enfermedades caracterizadas por el deposito extracelular de proteínas insolubles llamadas amiloide. La presentación intraoral de amiloidosis con macroglosia como signo primario es una entidad extraña, la cual puede afectar la funcionalidad de los pacientes aparte d...
Abstract Systemic amyloidosis secondary to psoriatic arthritis is rare, and published data are based mainly on case reports and are associated with increased mortality. This is the report of a patient with long-term psoriatic arthritis and chronic sialadenitis, who showed an inadequate response to therap...
Monoclonal gammopathies of uncertain significance (MGUS) correspond to pre-malignant hematological disorders characterized by the production of a monoclonal protein and infiltration of less than 10% of the bone marrow by plasma cells. Its importance lies in the risk of progression to malignant disorders ...
Currently, there is growing evidence in the literature warning of misdiagnosis involving amyloidosis and chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). Although inducing clinical manifestations outside the peripheral nervous system, light chain and transthyretin amyloidosis may initially prese...

ABSTRACT Background: Immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a rare and underdiagnosed entity. Aim: To characterize patients with AL amyloidosis in Chilean public health centers. Material and Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study. Public centers of the Chilean Monoclonal Gamm...
During history, amylidosis was observed associated to a great variety of inflammatory diseases, and due to this, appeared the term "secondary amyloidosis". The forms of sudden presentation without any apparent cause are classified as "primary amyloidosis", and also the localized amyloidosis was character...
