Abstract
Systemic amyloidosis is a rare but increasingly recognised disease that is heterogeneous in presentation. Early diagnosis, whilst imperative, remains challenging but can improve prognosis and limit organ dysfunction. An increased repertoire of diagnostic imaging and histological techniques are becoming mainstream and promise to aid early diagnosis. Better risk stratification, via biomarkers and cytogenetics, has improved multidisciplinary treatment decisions. The use of novel agents has improved treatment efficacy, which translates into survival benefit. Newer strategies targeting pre-deposited amyloidogenic protein are under investigation. The current paper reviews available data relating to the most recent advances in the field of systemic amyloidosis.
