title: [Demonstration of amyloid using histological methods].
abstract: The authors present their personal experience with common histological methods for amyloid demonstration. For practical use, they recommend staining with Congo Red followed by differentiation in alkaline alcohol and another method using staining with a 2% solution of Saturn Red in 1% NaCl. The latter method permits to differentiate between amyloid and hyalin without employing polarized light.
