🩺 Understanding Amyloidosis
Amyloidosis is a rare condition that occurs when an abnormal protein called amyloid builds up in organs and tissues, affecting how they function. It can impact the heart, kidneys, liver, nerves, and more — and early diagnosis is key.
⚠️ Common Symptoms May Include:
• Shortness of breath
• Swelling in legs or ankles
• Fatigue or weakness
• Numbness or tingling in hands/feet
• Unexplained weight loss
If you are experiencing persistent or unexplained symptoms, don’t ignore them. Early evaluation and management can make a difference.
