Carpal tunnel in both wrists may be ‘red flag’ for ATTR: Study

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in both wrists may be a red flag of transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR), including hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (hATTR-PN), a study showed.

The researchers also identified imaging abnormalities in the wrist that may point to ATTR.

“These preliminary findings can provide a foundation for future research aimed at validating these patterns and developing a diagnostic tool to facilitate early detection in ATTR patients,” the researchers wrote.
