The 20 Best Secondary Systemic Amyloidosis Doctors in Indonesia

Secondary systemic amyloidosis is a disorder in which abnormal proteins build up in tissues and organs. Clumps of the abnormal proteins are called amyloid deposits.

Secondary means it occurs because of another disease or situation. For example, this condition usually occurs due to long-term (chronic) infection or inflammation. In contrast, primary amyloidosis is a primary hematological disorder that results in deposition of abnormal amyloid proteins in different organs such as the heart and kidney.

Systemic means that the disease affects the entire body.
