Organs commonly affected by amyloidosis : Heart. Lymph. Liver Digestive tract. Kidney. Nervous system. Risk factors for amyloidosis : Male gender, the majority of people with amyloidosis are men. Elderly. Suffer from other diseases that cause chronic infection or inflammation. Heredity Dialysis: when dialysis, abnormal proteins can accumulate in the blood, then accumulate in body tissues. African race. Cause. Amyloid accumulation of substances produced by the bone marrow. Primary amyloidosis or AL amylodiosis (immunoglobulin light chain amylodiosis) ➡ occurs when the bone marrow produces abnormal antibodies that cannot be broken down. Primary amyloidosis can attack the heart, kidneys, skin, nerves and liver. Secondary amy...

Risk factors : The risk of infection is higher in people who live or visit tropical countries or areas with poor sanitation. People who have low endurance. Men who have homosexual. Cause. Amebiasis infection occurs when the parasite e.histolytica enters the human body and settles in the intestine. Parasites are transmitted through contaminated food and drink.
