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]
