Abstract		Amyloidosis is one of different diseases of deposition and is characterized by extracellular deposits of amyloid. Amyloidosis AL can be primary or it can occur with plasmocytoma. Due to the complex nature of the disease process, the clinical manifestations of amyloidosis are often overlooked or mistaken for another disease process. The course of each patient's disease is unique. Most cases of amyloidosis are diagnosed after the disease has reached advanced stages. Death, usually resulting from heart disease or kidney failure, occurs within 1 to 2 years after the disease has been diagnosed. Survival depends on how quickly the diagnosis is made, which consequently determines the way of treatment.
