Overview

Amyloidosis may be classified on the basis of type of amyloidogenic protein and associated clinical syndromes into primary (AL) amyloidosis, secondary (AA) amyloidosis, familial (AF) amyloidosis, transthyretin (ATTRwt) amyloidosis and dialysis-associated (AH) amyloidosis. It can also be classified based on extent of organ system involvement.

Classification

Classification Based on Precursor of Amyloidogenic Protein: [1][2]

Type Abbreviation Amyloidogenic Protein/Fibril Acquired/Inherited Most Common Organ Involvement Associated Conditions
Primary amyloidosis AL Acquired Heart and kidneys
Secondary amyloidosis AA Acquired Kidneys (early), heart and liver (late)
Senile systemic amyloidosis ATTRwt Acquired or Hereditary Heart and nerves (more common in hereditary type)
β2-microglobulin-related amyloidosis AH Acquired or Hereditary Nerves (peripheral and autonomic)
Leucocyte cell–derived chemotaxin 2 related amyloidosis ALect2
  • Leucocyte cell–derived chemotaxin 2
Acquired Kidneys and liver
Fibrinogen A alpha-chain associated amyloidosis AF Hereditary Kidneys and liver
Abnormal Apolipoprotein A-I, AII, and AIV related amyloidosis AApoA-I Hereditary Kidneys, liver and nerves (peripheral)
Lysozyme amyloid related amyloidosis ALys Hereditary Liver and kidneys
Gelsolin amyloid related amyloidosis AGel Hereditary Kidneys and nerves (peripheral and cranial)

Classification Based on Organ Involvement:[3][4]

Classification Subtypes Causes Clinical Features
Systemic amyloidosis Primary amyloidosis (AL)
Secondary amyloidosis (AA)
Hereditary amyloidosis
Organ-specific amyloidosis Renal amyloidosis
Cardiac amyloidosis
Hepatic amyloidosis
Amyloid neuropathy
Gastrointestinal amyloidosis

Overview

Classification

Amyloidosis may be classified based on precursor of amyloidogenic protein into different subtypes, include:[1][2]

Type Amyloidogenic protein/ fibril Clinical syndrome
AL Light chains of immunoglobulines (most common type) Monoclonal gammopathy
AA Serum amyloid A protein Chronic inflammatory diseases
AF Mutant transthyretin, A1-apolipoprotein, gelsolin, fibrinogen, etc. Familial polyneuropathy/cardiomyopathy/nephropathy
ATTRwt Wild-type transthyretin Senile restrictive cardiomyopathy _ Transthyretin-related amyloidosis wild-type
AH ß2-microglobulin Long-term hemodialysis
