AL Amyloidosis

In AL amyloidosis, misfolded proteins from plasma cells are deposited in various organs, leading to severe functional impairment. The kidneys, heart and gastrointestinal tract are particularly affected. Because the disease is rare and the symptoms are non-specific, diagnosis and treatment are often complex and lengthy.

The only way to prevent further deterioration in organ function is to stop the production of the misfolded proteins with drugs. Special immunotherapies and chemotherapies are now available for this purpose, as well as autologous stem cell transplantation (autologous donation), with which we have many years of experience at our clinic.

We are also in close contact with the amyloidosis centres in Germany so that we can always offer our patients the best possible treatment.
