To positively deal with the challenges brought by the diagnosis and treatment of systemic light chain amyloidosis

Abstract

To meet the challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis, the China Systemic Light Chain Amyloidosis Collaborative Group, together with multidisciplinary experts, developed the "Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Systemic Light Chain Amyloidosis" in 2016. In order to introduce progress in this field and better guide the clinical practice, the guideline has been updated recently. The in-depth understanding of AL amyloidosis has not only improved the level of diagnosis and treatment of the disease, but also promoted the integration of multiple disciplines, accelerated the development of clinical trials and the improvement of disease diagnosis and treatment modes.
