AA amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis, a disease characterized by the abnormal deposition of fibers of insoluble protein in the extracellular space of various tissues and organs. In AA amyloidosis, the deposited protein is serum amyloid A protein (SAA), an acute-phase protein which is normally soluble and whose plasma concentration is highest ...
AL amyloidosis occurs in about 3–13 per million people per year and AA amyloidosis in about two per million people per year. [2] The usual age of onset of these two types is 55 to 60 years old. [2] Without treatment, life expectancy is between six months and four years. [2]
The location of the cerebral microbleed determines whether it is more likely to have been caused by hypertension or CAA. Tsai et al. conducted amyloid PET imaging in an Asian population with cerebral amyloid angiopathy–intracerebral hemorrhage and noticed that superficial cerebellar microbleeds are related to CAA, whereas deep or mixed ...
AL amyloidosis is a rare disease; only 1200 to 3200 new cases are reported each year in the United States, and between 500 and 600 in the UK. Two thirds of patients with AL amyloidosis are male and less than 5% of patients are under 40 years of age. [6] [19] [9]

LECT2 Amyloidosis (ALECT2) is a form of amyloidosis caused by the LECT2 protein. It was found to be the third most common (~3% of total) cause of amyloidosis in a set of more than 4,000 individuals studied at the Mayo Clinic ; the first and second most common forms the disorder were AL amyloidosis and AA amyloidosis , respectively.
Amyloidosis is the accumulation of misfolded protein fibers in the body that can be associated with many chronic illnesses. Even though amyloidosis is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients receiving chronic regular dialysis, it has also been reported in a patient with chronic kidney failure but who never received dialysis.
The familial amyloid neuropathies (or familial amyloidotic neuropathies, neuropathic heredofamilial amyloidosis, familial amyloid polyneuropathy) are a rare group of autosomal dominant diseases wherein the autonomic nervous system and/or other nerves are compromised by protein aggregation and/or amyloid fibril formation.
