- Amyloidosis is a group of diseases marked by faulty protein deposits that can impair organ function, particularly affecting the gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
- Recent studies focus on diagnosing and treating GI amyloidosis, particularly from systemic amyloid light-chain (AL) and amyloid A (AA) types, with symptoms potentially including motility issues and severe complications like bowel obstruction.
