Amyloidosis should be differentiated from the following systemic diseases:

• Acute myocarditis
• Bechterew's Disease
• Bronchiectasis
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Collagen Vascular Disease
• Drug/toxic nephropathy
• Familial Mediterranean Fever
• Glomerulonephritis
• Hemodialysis Amyloidosis
• Interstitial lung diseases
• Leprosy
• Monoclonal gammopathies
• Multiple Myeloma
• Myocardial fibrosis
• Nephrotic Syndrome
• Osteomyelitis
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Restrictive cardiomyopathy
• Rheumatoid Arthritis
• Rheumatoid Polyarteritis
• Syphilis
• Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
