Haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis Classification and external resources ICD-10 E85.3 ICD-9 277.3 eMedicine med/3384 Haemodialysis-associated amyloidosis is a form of amyloidosis associated with chronic renal failure.[1]
Contents
Presentation
Long-term haemodialysis results in a gradual accumulation of β2 microglobulin, a serum protein, in the blood.[2] It accumulates because it is unable to cross the dialysis filter.
Prevention
Low copper dialysis is theorized to prevent or delay onset.[3]
