Prognosis
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]
Despite recent progress in proteasome inhibitors, chemotherapies, and immunotherapies that target plasma cells have greatly improved the prognosis of patients with systemic amyloidosis, median survival remains low at approximately five years. [clinicaltrials.gov]
