title: [Is early diagnosis of amyloidosis AL possible? Consideration on a representative case].
abstract: A male patient, 53 year-old, affected by with amyloidosis AL (AAL) with MGUS IgG lambda shows the renal function and the spiro-index yet normal. There is a cardiomyopathy by amyloidosis, but the kinaemia is yet normal. We think to treat the patient with high dose therapy and PBSCs. The appearance of a heart failure and an asystole after the anaesthesia of marrow-harvest precludes this treatment: once more the diagnosis of amyloidosis AL was late. Is the early diagnosis of AAL possible?
