| Description | Amyloidosis is one of the rare disease and in the Czech Republic is diagnosed less often than the actual incidence of the disease. It is a heterogeneous disease affecting with varying severity most of the organs and tissues of the body. Amyloidosis occurs in localized, with only amyloid plaque deposition, but systematic form is much more common, characterized by impairment of many organs and tissues. Due to the infrequent occurrence and low awareness of physicians, amyloidosis escapes early detection, and usually are recognized in advanced stages of the diseases with severe and often irreversible damage of vital organs. Amyloidosis is characterized by a permanent tendency to progression and unfavorable prognosis, since all types of amyloidosis are therapeutically limited to modify. For this reason, we present the following recommendations for diagnosis and treatment. |
