Amyloidosis is defined as the clinical syndrome associated with deposition of amyloid. Amyloid in tissue is defined by its tinctorial properties of a homogeneous, eosinophilic, hyaline material when viewed by hematoxylin and eosin staining. Amyloid stains specifically with Congo red,…
The amyloidoses are protein-misfolding diseases caused by a precursor protein that undergoes a conformational change, which in turn triggers the formation of amyloid fibrils that damage different organs. Amyloidosis can be either localized or systemic. In systemic amyloidosis ( Table…
