Amyloidosis is a condition that affects various body tissues and organs. But it's much more complicated and symptomatic than it sounds. The symptoms and severity of amyloidosis can vary between individuals, although some symptoms are more common than others.
Read on to learn more about the ways amyloidosis can affect the body, and what you can do to manage these symptoms.
Kidney issues
Amyloid proteins can build up in the kidneys, the organs that are responsible for removing waste via the urine. When your kidneys are overloaded with these proteins, they won't work as well. This can lead to scarring, loss of protein, and eventually kidney failure.
