Theoretic opinion and future treatment of amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis is still enigmatic. The etiology and mechanism of storage and organ impairment are still unknown. Not all amyloidogen molecules are definitely pathogenic; some precursors of tissue amyloid are structurally analogous to normal substances produced in the organism. This paper reviews the currently accepted categories, aspects of etiology and pathogenesis, and therapeutic trends of amyloidosis with a special emphasis on plasmapheresis.
