Amyloidosis Parenchymal

Amyloidoses are a group of chronic hereditary diseases characterized by the deposition in the tissues, organs and systems of the body of an abnormal protein substance amyloid, consisting of fibrillar structures. Amyloidosis is characterized by an autoimmune component, and therefore, in some cases, an increase in the level of antibodies to A1ex-repting antigens or circulating immune complexes (CIC) is detected. Depending on the amount of amyloid deposited in the tissues, four forms of amyloidosis are distinguished: typical, less common - plus, hepatic, pseudotumor.

Hepatocellular amyloidosis of the liver is a symptom complex that begins with diffuse circulatory disorders and is accompanied by moderate splenomegaly (relatively enlarged spleen). The specific structure of amyloid is usually revealed during pathological examination. At the same time
