Abstract
The term ‘amyloidosis’ refers to the extracellular deposition of low molecular weight fibrillar proteins (amyloid) that stain positively with Congo red and exhibit apple-green birefringence under polarized light. The disease leads to a wide range of clinical manifestations depending on its type, location, and amount deposited. Primary amyloidosis is the most prevalent type of amyloidosis, and the presence of hepatic amyloid has been described in up to 90% of patients.
