Learn MoreAmyloidosis is caused by a build-up of an abnormal protein called amyloid in organs and tissues which may leads to damage of organ function. The symptoms of amyloidosis depend on which tissues and organs are affected. An increase in deposit of amyloid proteins in their kidneys leads to kidney failure and symptoms could be swelling, often in the legs, caused by fluid retention (oedema), tiredness, weakness, loss of appetite. Deposits of amyloid in the heart may result in heart failure, which can cause: an abnormal heartbeat (arrhythmia), oedema and shortness of breath
