amyloidosis on the fingers, amyloidosis on the face, amyloid, primary, primary amyloidosis, insoluble protein fibers, deposited in tissues, organs, impairing function, primary amyloidosis, the condition is related to abnormal production of immunoglobulins by a type of immune cell, plasma cells, symptoms depend on the organs, the deposits, the tongue, intestines, skeletal, smooth muscles, nerves, skin, ligaments, heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, in the following conditions, cardiomyopathy, poor heart function, kidney failure, carpal tunnel syndrome, painful swelling of nerves, in the wrist, malabsorption, inadequate absorption of nutrients, intestinal tract, gastrointestinal reflux, gerd, deposits infiltrate the affected organs, causing them to lose resilience, become stiff, decreases ability to function, secondary amyloidosis, infection, inflammatory diseases, cancer, risk factors, primary amyloidosis is rare, malignant plasma cell disorder multiple myeloma, fatigue, numbness of hands, feet, weak hand grip, weight loss, shortness of breath, swelling, the extremities, swallowing difficulties, irregular heart rhythm, skin changes, enlarged tongue, additional symptoms that associated, weakness, urine output, decreased, tongue problems, stools, clay colored, diarrhea, joint pain, hoarseness, changing voice, discover, an enlarged liver, spleen, signs of heart failure, specific organ damage is suspected, testing to confirm amyloidosis of that organ performed, biopsy of a tissue, organ, positive, amyloid, a skin biopsy that includes subcutaneous fat, a rectal mucosa biopsy, a bone marrow biopsy, confirm the diagnosis, heart evaluation, reveal arrhythmias, abnormal heart sounds, signs of heart failure, ecg shows abnormalities, echocardiogram shows poor wall motion, a stiff heart muscle, cardiomyopathy, kidney function, renal, evaluation, reveal renal failure, nephrotic syndrome, excessive protein, in the urine, urinalysis shows protein, casts, fat bodies, serum creatinine is increased, bun is increased, abdominal ultrasound, reveal enlarged liver, spleen, evaluation, carpal tunnel syndrome, reveal involvement, the nerve, nerve conduction velocity shows a conduction block, hand grips, weak, weakness, the thumb, tests, tongue biopsy, nerve biopsy, myocardial biopsy, gum biopsy, carpal tunnel biopsy, bence-jones protein, quantitative, immunoelectrophoresis, serum, quantitative immunoglobulins, urine protein, patients, primary amyloidosis respond to chemotherapy directed, abnormal plasma cells, autologous stem cell transplanation used, in multiple myeloma, in secondary amyloidosis, aggressive treatment, the underlying disease, improve symptoms, slow progression, of disease, complications heart failure, kidney failure, severity, the disease depends upon the organs affected, heart, kidney involvement, lead to organ failure, death, systemic involvement is associated, death, 1 to 3 years, heart failure, kidney failure, endocrine failure, hormonal disorder, respiratory failure, death, symptoms consistent, primary amyloidosis develop, know have primary amyloidosis, difficulty breathing, persistent swelling, the ankles, areas, decreased urine output, symptoms occur, indicate that complications have developed, no known prevention.
