Abstract
Hematologists have a significant role in the diagnosis and management of light chain (AL) amyloidosis and are also frequently involved in diagnosing transthyretin (ATTR) and other rarer types of amyloidosis. Recent advances in diagnostic techniques and therapies are dramatically improving patient prognosis. Radionuclide imaging methods are emerging as a highly specific and non-invasive way to diagnose, quantify and monitor organ involvement representing a major advance in amyloidosis management.
期刊介绍:
Blood, the official journal of the American Society of Hematology, published online and in print, provides an international forum for the publication of original articles describing basic laboratory, translational, and clinical investigations in hematology. Primary research articles will be published under the following scientific categories: Clinical Trials and Observations; Gene Therapy; Hematopoiesis and Stem Cells; Immunobiology and Immunotherapy scope; Myeloid Neoplasia; Lymphoid Neoplasia; Phagocytes, Granulocytes and Myelopoiesis; Platelets and Thrombopoiesis; Red Cells, Iron and Erythropoiesis; Thrombosis and Hemostasis; Transfusion Medicine; Transplantation; and Vascular Biology. Papers can be listed under more than one category as appropriate.
