Diagnosis and Classification of Amyloidosis
Case History 1
December 2009
I will now discuss two cases where mass spectrometry-based proteomic analysis was diagnostic. The first case was a 74-year-old male who presented with a long history of CLL and symptoms and signs such as carpal tunnel syndrome and restrictive cardiomyopathy, suggestive of systemic amyloidosis. In 2009, a bone marrow biopsy was performed and at that point, the patient had elevated lambda free light chain levels.
