Hepatic amyloidosis

Amyloidosis, also known as amyloid deposition disease, is a progressive disease with a poor prognosis induced by multiple causes, characterized by the extracellular deposition of amyloid substances, primarily in the form of amyloid fibrils, in the vascular walls and organs and tissues. Hepatic amyloidosis is a part of systemic amyloidosis, and amyloidosis confined solely to the liver has not been reported to date.
