Case report highlights cardiac amyloidosis post kidney transplant, suggesting effective therapeutic regimen.
Systemic amyloidosis is a collection of diseases caused by the deposition of protein fibrils in organ tissues, leading to significant morbidity. Cardiac amyloidosis, a rare and debilitating condition, can affect any organ in the body. The two primary types of cardiac amyloidosis are systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis, which is more common and related to light chain overproduction in the bone marrow, and wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt). This case report describes a unique and uncommon case of cardiac amyloidosis observed in a patient following kidney transplant, which was effectively managed using a novel therapeutic regimen.
