2024年8月9日 · Learn more about AL amyloidosis in people with multiple myeloma, including symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and outlook.

2024年9月20日 · How is multiple myeloma different from amyloidosis? Learn more about these blood diseases and how they're diagnosed and treated.

2020年11月5日 · Multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis are both caused by the clonal proliferation of the abnormal plasma cells. Although, the difference of the genetic features of multiple myeloma and AL amyloidosis has been reported, we see some patients present with both cases.

2024年8月23日 · Keep reading to learn more about the link between multiple myeloma and amyloidosis, including how doctors might diagnose and treat these conditions.

2021年7月14日 · Symptoms of Amyloidosis vs. Multiple Myeloma. These two conditions cause some of the same sets of signs and symptoms, including kidney damage. However, these signs are caused by slightly different factors. In AL amyloidosis, damage develops when amyloid deposits build up in the kidney.

2024年12月9日 · Multiple myeloma (MM) is a cancer affecting the plasma cells, which are mostly in the bone marrow. MM occurs if plasma cells turn cancerous and multiply out of control. Amyloidosis develops...

AL amyloidosis is a rare and challenging disease, characterized by the presence of an amyloid-related syndrome in patients with a PC and/or a B-cell clone in the bone marrow (BM). The abnormal PCs produce LC that get converted to amyloid fibrils, which tend to be deposited in various tissues, finally causing organ failure.

Multiple Myeloma, Amyloidosis, and Other Plasma Cell Disorders. Multiple myeloma is a type of blood cancer that affects the plasma cells in the body. Cancerous plasma cells accumulate in the bone marrow and crowd out normal antibodies that help your body fight infections.

Myeloma (also known as multiple myeloma) and amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis are serious conditions caused by abnormal antibody-producing plasma cells found in the bone marrow where all blood cells are made.

AL amyloidosis (also referred to as light chain amyloidosis) is a rare disease that, similarly to myeloma, arises due to abnormal plasma cells, which are a type of immune cell. These abnormal plasma cells reside in the bone marrow.
