Principles of treatment
Treatment of all types of amyloidosis is currently based on the following principles:
- Reducing the supply of amyloid forming precursor proteins.
- Supporting the function of organs containing amyloid.
SAP scans in thousands of patients with various forms of amyloidosis have shown that when amyloid precursor protein supply is controlled:
- existing amyloid deposits often regress (become smaller)
- new amyloid deposits stop appearing
- organ function is often preserved and may also recover
