Systemic amyloidosis and the gastrointestinal tract.

S Friedman1, H D Janowitz.   

Abstract

Systemic amyloidosis is caused by a variety of different diseases and frequently involves the gastrointestinal tract. Each type of amyloid affects the gastrointestinal tract differently. This article reviews the unique pathogenesis, pattern of gastrointestinal disposition, diagnosis, and treatment of the five systemic amyloidoses, and discusses the gastrointestinal diseases that cause systemic amyloidosis: inflammatory bowel disease and familial Mediterranean fever.
