Diagnosis and Classification of Amyloidosis
Diagnosis
December 2009
Therefore this patient has CLL and ATTR amyloidosis. No mutations were identified in the TTR gene consistent with age-related or senile ATTR. The patient is being observed with regards to CLL and receiving supportive treatment for cardiac amyloidosis. If a diagnosis of AL amyloidosis was made based on equivocal immunohistochemistry results, the patient may have received unnecessary treatment for the underlying lymphoproliferative disorder.
