Amyloidosis is a rare disease that happens when amyloid, an abnormal protein usually made in bone marrow, is deposited in any organ or tissue of the body. Amyloidosis is diagnosed with a tissue biopsy and usually affects the liver, heart, digestive and nervous systems. There is no cure but treatment can help limit the body’s production of amyloid, lessening symptoms.
