In this episode of All Things Amyloid, Dr. Sarah S. Lee, Assistant Professor, Division of Hematology, at the City of Hope, provides a brief yet comprehensive clinical overview of amyloidosis. Dr. Lee discusses what is amyloidosis, most common types, the wide range of symptom presentations, and which organs are typically involved. Focusing on AL (light chain) and TTR (transthyretin), she then goes through a diagnostic workup to arrive at a diagnosis, stressing the importance of typing once the presence of amyloid has been confirmed. In conclusion, Dr. Lee describes treatments available and how they impact patient quality of life and prognosis. The video of her PowerPoint presentation can be found on our YouTube channel HERE.
