Overview
There is no specific diagnostic blood test, radiograph, or scan that can be used to diagnose amyloidosis; hence, awareness of the disease is necessary to identify patients with amyloidosis.[1]
Lab test: Non specific findings
- Normocytic normochromic anemia
- Electrolyte abnormalities secondary to heart failure
