The specialists at the Henry Ford Multidisciplinary Amyloidosis Clinic offer expertise in diagnosis and the most advanced treatments available. This starts with a thorough medical history and physical exam. Additional evaluation may include:

Laboratory Testing: Blood and urine analysis can help to detect amyloids. Depending on your specific symptoms, your doctor may order other exams, such as liver function or thyroid tests.

Bone Marrow Testing: This includes bone marrow aspiration (which removes a small amount of bone marrow fluid) and bone marrow biopsy (which removes some of the bone marrow tissue itself). These are generally performed at the same time and are used to check for amyloids.

Organ Tissue Biopsy: Your health care team may biopsy tissue from abdominal fat or from a specific organ that has been affected, such as your kidney or liver. A tissue biopsy is the best way to determine the specific type of amyloidosis.

Amyloid experts in our multidisciplinary amyloidosis clinic will review your case and determine the best treatment for you based on testing results. We will discuss treatment recommendations in detail at your clinic visits.
