Amyloidosis is a rare but serious disease characterized by the buildup of abnormal proteins, called amyloid fibrils, in organs and tissues. The clinical picture is broad and depends heavily on which organs are affected, meaning a variety of findings are typically seen in a patient with amyloidosis. This buildup can ultimately lead to organ dysfunction and, if left untreated, failure.
