However, the diagnosis requires a sample of an affected organ. [4] [7] Treatment The most effective treatment is autologous bone marrow transplants with stem cell rescues. [ipfs.io]

The prognosis does not appear to be related to the degree of the proteinuria. Treatment by peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis or kidney transplantation improves the prognosis considerably. Hypertension is rare, except in long-standing amyloidosis. [perthhaematology.com.au]

[edit] Prognosis varies with the type of amyloidosis and the affected organ system. [en.wikipedia.org]

PROGNOSIS • Prognosis with generalized amyloidosis is poor. • those with AL amyloidosis have a median survival rate of 2 years after diagnosis. 60. [de.slideshare.net]

Epidemiologic characteristics of primary amyloidosis, that is, amyloidosis without overt immunoproliferative disease, and myeloma are not significantly different. [abdominalkey.com]

For example, apolipoprotein E is reportedly a common constituent of amyloid deposits, and epidemiologic studies have shown an increased risk of Alzheimer disease among white persons carrying the 4 allele of apolipoprotein E. [humpath.com]
