Abstract

La amiloidosis se caracteriza por e l depósito de proteínas de características ultraestructurales fibrilares e insolubles, que se depositan mayoritariamente a nivel de los espacios extracelulares de órganos y tejidos. Es una enfermedad poco frecuente. Se clasifica típicamente según la natur aleza bioquímica de la proteína fibrilar, y según su distribución en el organismo podrá ser sistémica o localizada. La amiloidosis sistémica más frecuente en la práctica clínica es la denominada AL (primaria o asociada a mieloma múltiple) cuyos precursores son cadenas ligeras de inmunoglobulinas. A continuación, se realiza una revisión del tema, partiendo de la presentación de una paciente femenina de 76 años a la que se le realizó el diagnóstico de amiloidosis asociada a mieloma múltiple.
