Amyloidosis Pericollagenous

Amyloidosis is a disease in which abnormal protein structures called amyloid fibers form in the body's tissues. These fibers can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but typically appear as thin, web-like threads. Amyloidosis can occur in different tissues and organs, and its symptoms can vary depending on which organs are affected. In this article we will look at one of the types of amyloidosis – pericollagenic amyloidosis (a. pericollagenica).

Pericollagenous amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis that affects pericollagen, a protein found in connective tissue such as ligaments, tendons, fascia, and skin. In this disease, amyloid fibers are formed in pericollagen, which can lead to various symptoms.

Symptoms of pericollagenous amyloidosis may include:

– pain in joints and muscles;
– weakness and fatigue;
– difficulty in movement;
– swelling;
– change in skin color;
– difficulty walking;
– weight loss.

Treatment for pericollagenous amyloidosis depends on the severity of the disease and may include drug therapy, surgery, or a combination of these methods.

Amyloidosis is one of the most common multifactorial diseases. This is a group of genetically heterogeneous diseases characterized by the accumulation of abnormal proteins in different organs and tissues. This form of amyloidosis develops against the background of damage to connective tissue structures and a tendency to edema.

Amyloidosis is often accompanied not only by appearance disturbances, but also by a number of health problems, from general weakness to chronic heart failure. Although treatment almost always requires complex treatment, including surgery, the surest step is to see a doctor early and establish an accurate diagnosis. This is the only way to choose the optimal treatment program, based on modern knowledge and techniques, that successfully fights the disease and reduces the risk of complications to a minimum.

Amyloidosis can be either hereditary or acquired. If we talk
