Principles of treatment

Treatment of all types of amyloidosis is currently based on the following principles:

1. Reducing the supply of amyloid forming precursor proteins.
2. Supporting the function of organs containing amyloid.

SAP scans in thousands of patients with various forms of amyloidosis have shown that when amyloid precursor protein supply is controlled:

• existing amyloid deposits often regress (become smaller)
• new amyloid deposits stop appearing
• organ function is often preserved and may also recover
