Multiple Myeloma and Amyloidosis Presenting as a Restrictive Lung Disease with Respiratory Failure
Journal Title: Clinical Medical Reviews and Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Amyloidosis refers to the extracellular tissue deposition of fibrils resulting from abnormal folding of proteins. It may affect multiple organs, causing a broad range of symptoms, thus making the diagnosis particularly challenging. Polyneuropathy is one of the recognized manifestations of Amyloid Light-chain (AL) amyloidosis.
