AB  - Amyloidosis  is  a  heterogeneous  group  of  diseases  characterized  by  tissue  infiltration  with  misfolded  protein  precursors.The  term  amyloid  is  used  to  describe  a  substance  with  a  homogeneous  eosinophilic  appearance  by  light  microscopy,  a  green  birefringence  on  polarizing  light  microscopy,  and  a  characteristic  β-pleated  sheet  appearance  by  x-ray  diffraction.Terms  such  as  primary,  secondary,  senile,  dialysis-associated,  and  myeloma-associated  have  been  abandoned  in  favor  of  the  etiologically  based,  chemical  terminology  (Table  71–1)  (eg,  immunoglobulin  light  chain  amyloidosis  is  termed  AL  amyloidosis).
