Amyloid deposition

Amyloid deposition: Systematic amyloidosis is the latest definition of systemic amyloidosis, which is caused by the deposition of amyloid in the intercellular tissue space of the whole body, which destroys the function of cells and organs. Yes: Amyloidosis is a set of amyloid deposition syndrome caused by different factors such as genetic degeneration and infection, due to abnormal folding of protein molecules. Because the deposited amyloid and affected organs are different, the clinical manifestations are uneven. Common organs involved are liver, kidney, nerve, heart, gastrointestinal tract and other affected tissues, but skin, tongue, and lymph nodes are more common. All tissues and organs throughout the body can be affected, but not necessarily clinically.
