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  when  stained  with  hematoxylin  and  eosin,  a  green  birefringence  on  polarizing  light  microscopy,  and  a  characteristic  β-pleated  sheet  appearance  by  x-ray  diffraction.Nomenclature  for  the  type  of  amyloidosis  is  with  an  “A”  followed  by  the  abbreviation  of  the  name  of  the  subunit  protein.Some  types  of  amyloidosis  along  with  their  sites  of  organ  involvement  are  listed  in  Table  72–1.  Clinicians  are  more  likely  to  see  patients  with  immunoglobulin  light  chain  (AL),  although  other  types  are  clinically  important.
