Amyloidosis Program

Amyloidosis is a complicated disorder that can affect multiple systems in your body:

• Bone marrow

• Heart

• Kidneys

• Nervous system

• Lungs

• Skin

• Gastrointestinal (GI) system

Because amyloidosis is so complex, it is important to have a treatment plan specific to you. At U of U Health, you will be evaluated and seen by amyloidosis specialists from different disciplines. This will help our providers  better understand your individual needs.
