AB Amyloidosis  is  a  term  for  a  group  of  protein  folding  disorders  characterized  by  the  extracellular  deposition  of  insoluble  polymeric  protein  fibrils  in  organs  and  tissues.  Clinical  manifestations  depend  on  anatomic  distribution  and  intensity  of  amyloid  protein  deposition;  they  range  from  local  deposition  with  little  significance  to  involvement  of  virtually  any  organ  system  with  severe  pathophysiologic  consequences.
