Overview
Classification
Renal amyloidosis may be classified according to site of amyloid deposition into 3 subtypes:[1]
- Glomerular amyloid deposition (more common and have a poorer prognosis)
- Vascular amyloid deposition
- Tubular amyloid deposition
Renal amyloidosis may be classified according to type of amyloidogenic protein into 3 subtypes:
| Amyloidosis type | Amyloidogenic protein | |
|---|---|---|
| Common types | AL/AHL/AH
(Primary amyloidosis) |
Ig light chains (AL) |
| Fragments of Ig heavy chains and light chains (AHL) | ||
| Fragments of heavy chains only (AH) | ||
| AA
(Secondary amyloidosis) |
Serum amyloid A | |
| Rare types | AFib | Fibrinogen A α chain |
| AApo AI/AII/AIV | Apo AI, Apo AII, or Apo AIV | |
| ATTR | Transthyretin | |
| ALys | Lysozyme | |
| AGel | Gelsolin | |
| ALECT2 | Leukocyte chemotactic factor 2 |
