Our workup revealed a hemoglobin of 11 g/dl, serum albumin of 2.6 g/dl, serum creatinine of 2.8 mg/dl, and 3.3 g/d of proteinuria. Serum IFX revealed a small IgG- λ M-protein whereas urine IFX was negative.[jasn.asnjournals.org]
It generally presents with symptoms of airway obstruction, such as dyspnea or cough, atelectasis, hemoptysis, and recurrent pneumonia [ 2 , 3 ]. There also may be vocal changes due to laryngeal involvement.[basicmedicalkey.com]
While there are no specific treatments for these types of amyloidosis, supportive treatment may help to reduce symptoms, improve organ function and enhance quality of life.[arci.org]

The coincident NPA and monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) should not be considered evidence of systemic amyloidosis, as this would incorrectly imply a very poor prognosis.[basicmedicalkey.com]
Amyloidosis prognosis Systemic amyloidosis is a very serious illness. Its vital prognosis is only 1-4 years.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis and Treatment Patient survival in ALECT2 amyloidosis is significantly better than that of AL amyloidosis and AA amyloidosis, likely because of the rarity or absence of cardiac involvement in ALECT2 amyloidosis.[cjasn.asnjournals.org]
A recent series of NPA cases analyzed by LMD/MS confirmed the etiology and provided further characterization of the deposits [ 24 ].[basicmedicalkey.com]

Another possible etiology is an alteration in a binding partner of the LECT2 protein in the serum resulting in increased levels of free circulating LECT2.[cjasn.asnjournals.org]
Regardless of the etiology, treatment, with a resultant reduction of SAA levels, is associated with prolonged survival. While AL and AA together affect 90% of patients with systemic amyloidoses, the remaining 10% of patients have other types.[academic.oup.com]
Leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 amyloidosis (ALECT2), derived from leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 protein (LECT2), is newly recognized as a common type of amyloid, with unknown etiology [ 6 ].[intechopen.com]

A precise epidemiology of amyloidoses is difficult to define as the disease is often undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Selection bias of data from tertiary centres becomes potentially unrepresentative1,15.[mafiadoc.com]
It is important to underline that the definition of amyloidosis is notably pathophysiological, which is the common element characterizing all different types of amyloid. All types of amyloid fibril have the following properties: a.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
