Abstract

Amyloidosis can present in myriad ways and is often confused with other diseases. To help physicians avoid diagnostic pitfalls, Drs Vogelgesang and Klipple describe the various clinical amyloid syndromes, tell what differentiates them, and summarize the effects of amyloid infiltration on various organ systems. They also assess the effectiveness of diagnostic techniques and note the relative ineffectiveness of medications that have been used to treat amyloidosis.
