Light Chain Amyloidosis Presenting as a Septic Shock: A Case Report and Review of Literature.

Light chain (AL) amyloidosis is a plasma cell dyscrasia that results in an overproduction of immunoglobulins of the lambda or kappa light chains. These monoclonal ALs begin to form fibrils with each other and exert their toxic effect by depositing in different organs around the body. Disease presentation is indistinct, but it is ideal to diagnose this disorder before end-organ damage is caused.
