Overview
An elevated urinary protein is suggestive of secondary amyloidosis. Elevated level of acute phase reactant, abnormal liver function test, and other findings may also be observed.
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings suggestive of secondary amyloidosis vary depending on the affected organ.[1]
- The most commonly observable finding is proteinuria, particularly nephrotic range (>3.5 g/day).
- Other possible laboratory findings include:[2]
- Elevated NT-proBNP in case of cardiac involvement.
- Alkaline phosphatase Value >1.5 upper limit of normal in case of liver involvement.
- Elevated level of acute phase reactant due to underlying inflammatory condition.
