Hereditary Amyloidosis is a rare genetic condition in which abnormal proteins, called amyloids, accumulate in the body's tissues and organs. These proteins are deposited in a harmful way, interfering with the normal functioning of organs. Symptoms vary depending on the organs affected. They are: fatigue, weight loss, swelling, heart, kidney or gastrointestinal problems.
