The detail information of Amyloidosis
Basic Information

Disease Description: A condition where abnormal deposits of proteinaceous material called amyloid are laid down in tissues and impair their function. Common in Akitas and Chinese shar peis.

Inherit Mode: -

Disease Symptom: -

Disease Cause: -

Disease Diagnose: Because of its wide distribution and stealthy onset, amyloidosis is difficult to diagnose. However, your veterinarian may suspect amyloidosis if your dog has a chronic infection or inflammation and develops kidney or liver failure. Renal biopsies are needed to differentiate renal amyloidosis from immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis(ICGN).

Treat Method: There is no proven specific treatment for amyloidosis. Treatment of the underlying disease may result in regression of amyloid and associated signs. The prognosis is usually poor. Some dogs can be managed up to 1 year.
