Testing for the level of ALP (an enzyme called “alkaline phosphatase”) should be included in your regular blood lab workup. An ALP test measures the amount of this enzyme in the blood. [amyloidosis.org]
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]
Treatment

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]
