Immunoglobulin light chain amyloidosis diagnosis and treatment algorithm 2021

M. Hasib Sidiqi et al.

Summary: AL amyloidosis can present with symptoms such as nephrotic range proteinuria, heart failure, peripheral neuropathy, hepatomegaly, or diarrhea, and may develop from smoldering multiple myeloma and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS). Early diagnosis is crucial as these patients exhibit distinctive symptoms such as weight loss, edema, early satiety, and dyspnea.
